How to confuse Santa Claus this Christmas – Messing with Santa’s mind probably will get you a lump of coal … but it’ll be worth it!
- Instead of milk and cookies, leave him a salad, and a note explaining that you think he could stand to lose a few pounds.
- While he’s in the house, go find his sleigh and write him a speeding ticket.
- Leave him a note, explaining that you’ve gone away for the holidays. Ask if he would mind watering your plants.
- Leave a note by the telephone, telling Santa that Mrs. Claus called and wanted to remind him to pick up some milk and a loaf of bread on his way home.
- While he’s in the house, find the sleigh and sit in it. As soon as he comes back and sees you, tell him that he shouldn’t have missed that last payment, and take off.
- Take everything out of your house as if it’s just been robbed. When Santa arrives, show up dressed like a policeman and say, “Well, well. They always return to the scene of the crime.”
- Leave out a copy of your Christmas list with last-minute changes and corrections.
- Leave lots of hunting trophies and guns out where Santa’s sure
to see them. Go outside, yell, “Ooh! Look! A deer! And he’s got a red
nose!” and fire a gun.
- Leave Santa a note, explaining that you’ve moved. Include a map with unclear directions to your new house. Mapquest.com is perfect for this.
- Leave out a Santa suit, with a dry-cleaning bill.
- Paint “hoof-prints” all over your face and clothes. While he’s in the house, go out on the roof. When he comes back up, act like you’ve been “trampled.” Threaten to sue. Do not hum “Grandma got run over by a raindeer, as this spoils the effect.
- Instead of ornaments, decorate your tree with Easter eggs.
- Dress up like the Easter Bunny. Wait for Santa to come and then say, “This neighborhood ain’t big enough for the both of us.”
