30 Times People Took Hilarious Pictures With The Mall Santa

The whole "taking a picture with mall Santa" tradition may seem kind of funny now but most of us had a picture with one sometime during our childhoods. And while standing in line just to sit on Santa's lap for a few seconds seemed like a chore back then, the photos are pretty funny to look back at now since we're either crying or have a deer-in-the-headlights look on our faces in them. Some people, however, managed to take mall Santa photos to the next level by coming up with all sorts of hilarious twists. How do you take a plain old photo with Santa to the next level, you may ask? Why not bring a dog! Or two fighting cats. Or dress up like a Juggalo. The possibilities are endless, you just have to use your imagination. Check out the most creative photos people took with mall Santas in the gallery below!
