Some Santas have had surprise lap-jumps from toddlers who refuse to wait in line, while others find themselves dealing with reluctant teens reluctantly shoved forward by parents. The funniest tales often involve Santa responding cleverly to tough questions, like 'Why doesn’t your beard grow?' or 'Why do you smell like candy canes?' creating timeless memories and laughter.
