I swear we hear about Santa Claus causing issues nationwide every year, usually around Thanksgiving. But getting led away in handcuffs?
Maybe it’s one of the big red guy’s rebellious, grown-up former elves causing havoc. Whatever is happening, and whatever we choose to believe, it’s an annual thing to see Santas having issues.
This time, let’s head to Dallas, Texas, where it was all caught on video because ’tis the season for various Santas to be out and about, and this one was hauled away in handcuffs. Clearly, being in Texas, where snow is far and few between in Dallas, Santa didn’t even have time to jump on his sled for an escape.
However, if Santa did try to escape, that would make this surreal moment feel even more like a Hollywood holiday comedy. We’ve seen plenty of movies and sitcoms having fun with Mr. Claus hitting the bottle one too many times in a comical way. There are even horror movies about Santa, which I personally refuse to watch.
Anyway, this video popped up on my Instagram feed. Since the account has the “f” word in it, I googled to see if I could find the video someplace else, and sure enough, I did.
I couldn’t find any information anywhere on why Santa Claus was arrested in Dallas. Hmmmmm.
Although if anyone is going to have connections, it’s Santa, right? Even the police officers look like they’re smiling while escorting Santa to a squad car.
