Kreg at Spyndle asked, "How can you be scared of Santa?" Answer: Hang out in Wellington, New Zealand on a Saturday afternoon. According to the AP:

A group of 40 people dressed in Santa Claus costumes, many of them drunk, rampaged through New Zealand's largest city, robbing stores and assaulting security guards, police said Sunday.

The rampage, dubbed "Santarchy" by local newspapers, began early Saturday afternoon when the men, wearing ill-fitting Santa costumes, threw beer bottles and urinated on cars from an Auckland overpass, said Auckland Central Police spokeswoman Noreen Hegarty.

She said the men then rushed through a central city park, overturning garbage containers, throwing bottles at passing cars and spraying graffiti on buildings.

One man climbed the mooring line of a cruise ship before being ordered down by the captain. Other Santas, objecting when the man was arrested, attacked security staff, Hegarty said.

The remaining Santas entered a downtown convenience store and carried off beer and soft drinks.

Too bad no one photographed this event for inclusion in the Scared of Santa Gallery...

UPDATE: I just found the official Santarchy site. There you can find chronicles of adventures dating as far back as 1994. That's what Christmas is about, really: tradition. And you cannot argue with their motto: "No force on earth can stop one hundred Santas!"
