A funny story is that Santa once mistook a doghouse for a child's playhouse. He went in through the doggie door and found himself face - to - face with a very surprised dog. Santa was so startled that he dropped half of his presents right there. The dog then started barking and chasing Santa around the yard until he managed to escape back to his sleigh.
Well, there was this one time Santa visited a house where the family had put up a fake chimney just for decoration. Santa, not realizing it was fake, tried to land on it. As he landed, the fake chimney collapsed under his weight. Santa ended up in a pile of fake bricks and tinsel. He had to dig himself out and find the real chimney to deliver the presents. It was quite a sight!
Santa was delivering presents in a warm - climate area once. He was wearing his full traditional outfit. He got so hot that he decided to take off his coat and leave it on the roof. But when he came back out, he couldn't find his sleigh because his reindeer had gotten spooked by the strange object (his coat) and had flown a short distance away. Santa had to run after them in his red suit, sweating all the way.
Once Santa got his sleigh stuck in a chimney. His reindeer were pulling so hard that his hat flew off and landed right in a plate of cookies that a child had left out for him. He finally managed to get unstuck, but he had cookie crumbs all over his beard.
Sure. A family set up a super elaborate trap for Santa, thinking it was a prank. They had strings all over the living room. Santa walked in and got completely tangled up. He was like a big, jolly, gift - bearing spider caught in a web. He just laughed and the family came out to free him and they all had a great laugh together.
Sure. There was a time when Santa was checking his list twice. He got so confused that he mixed up the naughty and nice lists. So, some naughty kids got really nice presents and some nice kids got coal by mistake. When Santa realized his error, he quickly went back to those houses and swapped the presents, but not before having a good laugh at his own silliness.
One funny Santa Claus story is about a little boy who left cookies and milk for Santa. But his dog ate them all before Santa arrived. When Santa came, he found a note from the boy apologizing for the missing treats. Santa left a note back saying it was okay because his reindeer shared their carrots with him.
One story is that Santa Claus got lost on his way to a house because his GPS said 'Turn left at the North Pole' and he got really confused. Another is that Santa was trying to lose weight one Christmas. So, he told the elves to make his suit two sizes smaller. But when Christmas Eve came, he couldn't fit into the sleigh with all the presents because of the tight suit.
One sad Santa Claus story could be that Santa's reindeer gets sick right before Christmas Eve. So he has to struggle to find a replacement in time to deliver all the presents. It makes him really worried and sad as he doesn't want to let the children down.
One Santa Claus horror story is about a Santa who turns out to be a deranged killer. He uses his disguise to get into people's houses at night not to give presents but to harm them. Another could be a Santa that haunts a particular town during Christmas, causing fear instead of joy.
One famous Santa Claus book story is 'The Night Before Christmas'. It vividly describes Santa's visit on Christmas Eve. He comes down the chimney with his reindeer and brings presents for good children.
One scary Santa Claus story is about a mall Santa who turns out to be a deranged criminal at night. He hides in the mall after closing and scares the janitors. Another is the legend of a Santa Claus in a small town who only gives coal but in a really menacing way, leaving kids terrified. There's also a story where Santa Claus is a ghost that haunts a house on Christmas Eve, making spooky noises instead of delivering presents.
A story goes that Santa Claus has a magic list that he checks twice to see who's naughty and who's nice. This shows the idea of rewarding good behavior during the Christmas season.
