Think Santa Claus is just a fat and jolly old guy? Think again.

Santa’s got a brand new bag – and a posse!
(Note: There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that the woman in this clip is Suzanne Muldowney (aka Underdog Lady) receiving payback from the Santa Claus Anti-Defamation League for saying all those bad things about Santa Claus, like that he doesn’t exist and is The Great Deceiver of children the world over.)
