Do away with them!!! They are not pleasant, convincing, or nice.
I saw one today, with his string tattered beard hanging off his chin. A smile must have been dangerous to his health, and he was handing out sweets begrudgingly. He made more kids cry than laugh, I tell you the chap was a moron. And I'm sure if I'd put my bargepole down, I would've smelled bacardi.

Yes! I've got the poster board, paints and sticks for picket line signs and you've got the list. Who's feeding us?

Ever seen the movie 'Miracle on 34th Street'? Most of the santa's remind me of that drunk one in the beginning, or all the ones smoking and playing pool later in the film...

Some are nice, and you can tell they are really enjoying themselves, and don't get to spend time around children often. Thats the only reason I disagree with doing away with ALL of them.

And this poor little kid was literally pushed onto this weirdo's lap, and had to stay there until the mother got her precious photo, even with tears streaming down his little face, and a terrified expression. And when 'Santa' said 'Don't worry, I know where you live' the kid just bawled louder. And who could blame him.

Ellie - despite myself, I just laughed so hard that I actually wasted some of this lovely single-malt scotch through my nose!

'Don't worry, I know where you live' - oh my god, that is so funny
