    Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Wonder if the kids were traumatized.
    Thought it was funny how long it took for the announcer to realize something was up. "Come Santa, you can do it!"

    Shouldn't it be on top of the chimney? Doesn't Santa rap into everyone's home? Have I been misled?



    Wait, I learned early in life, from Cheech 'n Chong, that it is magic dust.

    As for the video, major fail is right. Beard, hair, hat... Santa was a mess when he touched down.

    Letting go with both hands there might not have been so wise neither. Nothing like seeing Santa plummet to the ground should the beard give up its fight!

    Don't end up like Santa! Always wear your ascenders or use a contingency rig. (Contingency rig won't help if you are LAMAR)
