I still remember being 8 years old, trying to go to sleep on Christmas Eve as I peeked out of my bedroom window, watching the snow flurries illuminated by the streetlight whip around into thick blankets and snowbanks. Well, it’s almost that time of year to once again set out the cookies and milk and wait for the jolly old elf to arrive. But let’s just hope you get Santa Claus … and not Santa
Cause.
Ho-Ho-Horrific
I’m sure by now you’ve either seen, heard about or talked about the mall Santa at the Harlem Irving Plaza in Norridge, Illinois. Santa Claus told a little boy “NO no guns!” when he wished for a NERF gun for Christmas.

Tears of sorrow flowed from a young boy who was told by an Illinois mall Santa that he couldn t have a Nerf gun. But those tears are now ones of joy after the mall and others stepped up to rectify the situation.
A video that went viral showed Michael DeCarlo, 4, asking Santa at Harlem Irving Plaza in Norridge, Illinois, for the Nerf gun. When the Santa said no, Michael s mom, Sabella, thought the Santa might not have heard Michael say Nerf.

As a boy-dad, I can tell you just how much Nerf guns mean to my son. He spends a great deal of time researching his next gun on YouTube and saves the money that he earns and receives from his grandparents, to buy his next gun. Nerf has even gone as far as to make several guns modeled after the guns in Fortnite, another of my son’s total addictions.

Even the mall where this occurred realized just how badly their idiot Santa had screwed things up, having a new Santa show up for the young man to share with him some Christmas joy.
