Evil Santa Goes on Christmas Eve Rampage

In a shocking turn of events, the Santa at the old department store on the outskirts of town was arrested last night for attacking a child.

Eyewitnesses say that Santa, whose real name has not been released, had been behaving strangely in recent days. He would tell the children who came to visit him that they were fat and lazy, or that they were naughty and wouldn’t be getting any presents this year. The children would leave Santa’s workshop in tears, feeling confused and hurt.

The store owner and employees had tried to intervene, but Santa would deny anything was wrong and insist that he was just trying to keep the children in line. However, his behavior only grew more erratic and cruel. He would shout at the children and even hit them if they misbehaved.

On Christmas Eve, Santa finally snapped. As the last group of children sat on his lap, he grabbed one of them, a five-year-old boy named Timmy, and started shaking him violently. Timmy’s parents and the other children and their parents screamed in terror, but Santa just laughed and continued to shake Timmy.

The store employees and parents finally managed to overpower Santa and free Timmy. They called the police, who arrived and arrested Santa. Timmy was taken to the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.

The town is in shock over the incident, and many are calling for the old department store to be shut down. The store owner has released a statement expressing his condolences and apologizing for the incident. The fate of the store and the future of Santa at the department store remain uncertain.
