Ho Ho Oh No.
A Santa is going to have to write his name in very big letters on his own Naughty list after a bizarre incident left parents outraged.
At a "family rave event" in St Ives, Cambridgeshire in the UK, a fire alarm was activated after detecting smoke.
While that may be concerning, Santa only added to the panic after he burst out of his grotto, tore off his fake beard and screamed "get the f*ck out!" at the families.
Last Sunday during a family rave event (not a FESt event) in the Corn Exchange, St Ives, the fire alarms were activated...

Parents described the scene to Cambridgeshire News as "very strange".
"He was shouting at people to leave, which is exactly what we were doing," said one parent.
"People were in the process of vacating the building and in came angry Santa swearing using the most vile language," said another.
Event organizers issued an apology, but only partially addressed Santa's naughty behavior.
"Santa was upstairs in his grotto," the apology stated, "and immediately assisted in the evacuation of the building."
I don't know how much assistance he was, but he did probably get people leaving faster.

Parents said they had to try to explain why Santa swore at them in what was already a chaotic environment.
"We told our children he wasn't the real Santa. He was an imposter and will be going on the naughty list."
It was a free event hosted by a volunteer organization that should have been a happy time for families. They may not have gotten the gifts they were promised, but they sure do have a story to tell.
