From the Bookshelf: Scared of Santa

This is the debut post of Elements' new blog series "From the Bookshelf". Every Wednesday we will feature a book here at Hello, Elements for your viewing pleasure.

Today's From the Bookshelf pick is Scared of Santa: Scenes of Terror in Toyland.


He's huge and hairy and hulking. He dresses in strange furry clothing. He sneaks into people's homes at night. Who wouldn't be afraid of . . . Santa Claus?!? Nothing says Christmas quite like innocent children shrieking with terror as a stranger dressed in red drags them kicking and screaming onto his lap. Now this time-honored rite of passage is celebrated with a hilarious collection of more than two hundred and fifty priceless photos of kids' traumatic trips to Santa's workship. Scared of Santa offers a cornucopia of photographic funnies - from sixty-year old family heirlooms to last year's howlers - along with delightful commentary on those unforgettable childhood visits to scary ol' Saint Nick. Available at Amazon.com or think local and help support your neighborhood bookstore. Harper Collins, $10
