Tomorrow night, Santa Claus will visit children all over the world. Although he “sees you when you’re sleeping” you aren’t supposed to see him on Christmas Eve. Instead, the department store visit with Santa has become a time-honored tradition of asking him for gifts and posing for a photo. While he promises gifts in exchange for cookies and good behavior, many children have Santaphobia. Even if children love the idea of Santa, meeting him in person can be a terrifying experience. This collection of photos with Santa includes some of the more frightening encounters throughout the years.
