Cameron Simcik — Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:00:26 +0000

We love Santa. We really do! He's probably the coolest old guy we know, spending his life making presents, managing elves and eating cookies. Truth be told, we're sort of jealous. The jolly old guy usually looks bright and cheery and not all that scary, which is yet another reason we're fans.

Roughly 800 people put on Santa costumes for the Fourth Annual Michendorf Santa Run in Michendorf, Germany.

Here's a nice UPS man singing a Christmas song about how he's basically a modern-day Santa. He actually makes a good point. Plus, he can sing. Our favorite part is at the end when he offers up the disclaimer that he wasn't slacking on the job, since he's on a scheduled break. It makes us want to order so many packages online, so we can wait with bated breath for them to be delivered. Too cute!
