In the U.K., Santa got his beard stuck while rappelling down from the ceiling of a mall and dangled there helplessly for half an hour until someone freed him. Old Saint Nick may be hundreds of years old, but he really needs to work on making an entrance.

Ever wonder what Santa does when he's on vacation? In this video, a noticeably slim St. Nick paddles a long board across a lake far from the North Pool with three dogs in tow. If the reindeer ever find out what's going on, they'll get jealous.

A mall Santa in South Florida attempted to make a dramatic entrance by rappelling down from a walkway. Except, St. Nick's arrival is foiled when his beard becomes hopelessly stuck in his climbing equipment. Ho! Ho! Uh-oh!
