Mall Santas, Whats the Creepiest Thing a Kid Has Asked for Christmas?

people who have been santa at the mall what's the creepiest thing a kid has asked for christmas i have a crinky butt story about a mall santa i was a freshman in college at my local mall this mall is basically dead hardly any foot traffic at all unless it's the weekend and i see em all santa i accidentally make eye contact and he waves me over i walk on over to him smiling and he's doing the whole santa thing i'm around 22 at this time and i'm playing along for fun to not make it all awkward his elves girls around my age start talking to me and you can tell them and santa were bored often just looking for someone to talk to well anyway they asked if i wanted to buy a picture with santa i was poor as crap at the time and was deaf not paying the 20 bucks for a picture i started to panic internally because i was like oh crap did they just talk to me for the last five minutes because they expected me to buy a picture one of the elves says she bets my parents would love it and that's when the horrible idea clicked in my head i looked her in the eye and said oh yes sorry no my parents are dead they aren't btw dead silence from santa and the elves oh one of the elves pipes in that she lost her dad a year ago so she knows and understands what it's like but they then talk to me for about 20 more minutes trying to make me feel better i felt like crap the whole rest of the month and i'll still think about it sometimes and cringe hard tldr i lied to santa and his elves and told them my parents were dead this is one of my worst memories ever i had helped santa for almost 20 years but mostly for private parties and events i did cover for him many years ago in little mall in belding michigan a young girl came up with a group of kids and didn't even look up at me i asked her what was wrong she said i didn't give her what she asked for last year and started crying i told her i was sorry and would try again this year she said you can't i asked you to stop daddy from hurting mommy and he still did now mommy is dead i had absolutely nothing to say except i was so sorry after that group of kids left i went home sick took off my suit and threw it away but to this day i can hardly bear this and i still think about it every christmas time not creepy and not more santa but i dressed up as santa for halloween one year and sat on the porch handing out candy from a sack one kid looked excited until his dad said something along the lines of now remember that's not the real santa i gave him some candy then i reached into the second sack and pulled out a big butt hand carved wooden monster truck and handed that to him as well kid thought it was great dad not so much freaking fantastic that dad was obviously proved wrong don't let him dull your shine santa this is a grim one my ex's dad owned a restaurant and i worked there part-time in my late teens so i witnessed this christmas eves were usually really busy so to earn more money his wife came up with the idea to pretend to be santa for a few hours on christmas eve and charge something like two pounds per kid this one dad came up to my ex's dad my ex's dad was santa not me and paid the money for his kid and then went to the toilet with his other child a baby leaving the kid with santa santa asked the kid what he wanted for christmas and apparently the kid whispered into his ear i want daddy to go away he asked the kid to explain why and apparently the dad had beating up the mother a few hours prior and had locked her in the shed in their back garden before taking the kid and his baby sister out to eat because there had been crying hysterically and he was worried the neighbors would hear and get suspicious santa then asked the kid for his address and told my ex who worked in the kitchen to call the police i think some police went to the house and then some turned up at the restaurant to arrest the dad a social worker also came to collect the kids we never found out what happened to them after that but it ended up in the local paper and got loads of promotion for the restaurant i mustn't have made myself clear enough i wasn't santa i was the waitress who witnessed it from afar my ex got me a job at his family restaurant my ex's dad aka the owner of the restaurant was santa i didn't realize that this would blow up like it did and i feel like i need to just clarify that i love read it you guys have managed to put some kind of magical disney movie spin on the thoroughly depressing situation which i'd never considered before crap this sounds snarky but it's not i appreciate it makes it seem even slightly positive that's heartbreaking hopefully it ended up well for the kids my two-year-old once asked santa for a christmas tree he gave me the most disgusted look i was horrified because it was only the beginning of december and i was holding off until after her birthday party the 5th of december to put the tree up and my enormous collection of decorations for the house i didn't want her birthday to be overshadowed by christmas my birthday is pretty near christmas 14th and every year my parents waited until after my birthday to put the tree up i super appreciated it you're doing the right thing also the fifth is pretty early that's one judgmental santa not a mall santa but my fire department does a santa visit to all the houses in my town we have a few guys dress up as santa and we drive around going house to house in the fire engines one year when i was santa we go to a house with a married couple and two kids the woman is clearly pregnant the daughter about 10 12 creep the heck out of me i asked her what she wanted for christmas and she looks at her i assume stepmom and says deadpan i want the baby to die jesus christ kid it's possible that she wasn't allowed to express her frustration over a new sibling and vented it all at once not a santa but i remember when i was over at my relative's house i asked my little cousin what she wanted santa to bring her and she said wanted boobs like her mom had she was only about six sota was weird for me to hear her say that but she was in a phase where she idolized her mom and wanted to look like her same hair style same glasses etc so i guess it sort of made sense i remember when i was a little kid my sister asked santa for a pony i was next so i asked for rat poison for the pony ten yomi was an edgy little butthole that seems inefficient should have gone for a nice jug of pony poison i once was santa for the horse club my mum and sister were i've agreed on doing it because i thought it would be fun i don't know if it's the same elsewhere but people here who do horse riding are usually rich people so rich families so these six and seven years old seriously were asking for animals such as horses normal or turtles one even asked for an elephant and at the end of the line one kid asked for a whole zoo high hopes for him i said i would but i doubt he got what he wanted ended up ruining the whole santa myth since when i finished the children's were still there and i shouted mom can i go now to their horse teacher oh and the scary part there is how these children talked about actually possessing the animal like a doll or any other toys and not like actual creatures not a kid but i had an elderly lady who used to walker insist that she wanted to sit on my lap to 20 year old me it was unbelievably awkward but i bet it happen i was a helper at the easter bunny set one year so not santa and a kid was having trouble getting up onto the bench the dad was adamant that she'd be let alone to do it by herself but there was a line and after she fell three times i kinda felt bad for the girl anyways i picked her up and put her next to the easter bunny which the dad was not a fan of he started yell at me and pushing me long story short he eventually tried to swing at me that's where i drew the line i moved just out of the way and swung back and hit him right in the jaw that was the last year i worked at that set too bad that wasn't caught on tape the easter bunny knocking out an unruly parent is exactly the kind of video that would get huge there was a story on the news not sure if it's true or not a kid told santa they wanted their dad or step dad to stop touching them connolly then the santa and some elves beat up the dad i heard about that too one kid got on my lap and asked me if i could give him a bag of wiggly rice i asked him what that was and he said he ate some off a piece of chicken he found in the backyard he said it was so yummy he wishes he had a whole bag of it i was a heavy metal santa outside the local guitar shop nothing creepy happened just horns or middle fingers depending on how well i was playing that day it's really cool to hear the echoes of a guitar solo off of passing cars though this is the most badass thing i've heard all day not a santa but as an elf nearby kid may be 11 years old and bangs below his nose goes up and whispers loud enough for me to hear i wish not to live anymore i don't think anyone else heard it and the santa pretty old dude but kind tells him sorry but there's so much more to which for and hands him off not a santa but a couple of years ago the santa who worked in a nearby town was fired why an overweight nine-year-old boy sat on his lap and santa told him to layer the hamburger and french fries overweight kids that young is so sad to see i was at publix and this grossly fat kid sat in the cart not in the child seat he couldn't fit there and just kept demanding all sorts of different junk he got everything he pointed at while it's easy to blame the parent his mother looked completely defeated and actually quite miserable i used to photo the kids with santa a little girl asked for a boy toy santa was like what her mom was a few feet away from the stage and says she means a truck reminds me of when i was a kid and my mom always asked for the boy toy with my happy meals in the drive through but when we went inside and forgotten they gave me a barbie instead of a pokemon toy or something i'd always be one p little girl so that might be where the kid got the term from or something similar maybe he misspoke but one kid maybe about five years old asked me for a coffin i don't recall if i sought much clarification i must also share my most awkward moment which happened when i was the easter bunny three teenage girls wearing their cheerleader uniforms came to get their photo taken one sat on my left leg one sat on my right leg and the other stood there hesitant for a few moments before finally making a decision and plopping down right in the middle seating herself on my groin i was probably biting my lip trying not to have a reaction fortunately all anyone could see from the outside was my smiling bunny head dang it you found my carrot not a santa but when my little brother was a toddler he asked santa for a baby brother or sister santa said he'd try his best i'm not a mall santa but i've been answering santa's mail for over 20 years i'm a postal worker and we volunteer answering letters and i've seen it all there's always sad ones when little kids ask for their dead parent or grandparents or ask to pass a message to their loved ones there's always a weird adult venting about child support divorce or money troubles there was a group of four daughters who all asked only that their dad saw back get better there was a strange kid asking for guns knives and a lizard there was one kid who said he's sick of being alone and he was so lonely he offered to become an elf last year i got a letter written from a guinea pig and we've had a few from the family dogs so we treat those extra special when we get extremely troubling letters they get special attention especially if the sender is suicidal if it's something i feel like i can handle myself then i will usually send a small gift along with an encouraging letter i send colouring books or crossword puzzles to the stressed people and i've sent picture frame ornaments for those who have lost a loved one baby's first christmas gets wax sealed calligraphy response appropriate for keepsake fortunately i've only gotten a couple of really disturbing letters but it's becoming more common to get letters from stressed adults slightly opposite but i had a friend who is russian and who went to a russian christmas party which is a different holiday from normal christmas apparently organized by a bunch of russian families in town they hired a santa for all of the kids my friend is in his last year of college but everyone tells him to go up to santa anyway he's a good sport so he does but when he gets up there santa dead but starts chewing him out for flunking a college course and to get better grades apparently this was premeditated by the adults ahead of time i heard this story from him the night of over text when he locked himself in a room and was p drunk off of vodka the real son nicholas was a badass he once be slapped the pope and took crap from no one he was well known foe protecting the poor going so far as to save three girls from basically a forced marriage by taking three gold coins from an arms box and throwing it into their bedroom window one coin landed in a pair of stockings hung by a fire to dry which is where the custom of stockings on a fireplace comes from i actually heard about silent santas a few years back kids with autism don't do malls well being autistic myself i agree so i rent a suit every year and do a volunteer silent santa a family is picked for christmas and i go over the room is incredibly dim but very comfortable for my eyes quiet and it lets the non-verbals meet santa i basically do november and don't shave until january because elf you go in with the parents and the kid meets you very soft ho ho ho be at their level they meet touch me to see if i'm real a couple pictures usually getting pictures is difficult with some it helps the family have some resemblance of a holiday i was difficult these kids are far harder and the parents usually ask santa questions i help answer what i can basically since my fam is so far away and i never get to visit i bring christmas to someone else it also keeps me sane since the holidays bring out the worst in me it's 550 for a suit rental but it makes one christmas totally awesome for that kid that won't have any more good ones i knew a gentleman who was a santa in our local mall for years he had a real beard so he was paid more he didn't tell me any stories of anything that happened that was creepy rather he said every year there was something interesting that happened one year he had a guy propose while a girl was on his lap and another time he said that all the higher-ups were checking out the display and as they were looking away a girl yelled hey santa and then she flashed him he was a bit of a ladies man so he enjoyed the show side story one my hubby worked with him as an elf and his buddies thought that was lame so they walked in there and legit kidnapped him and carried him out like a baby while making fun of him side story two he told me that he used to work for a children's home and dressed up as the easter bunny one year his office was separate from the children's home and he had to walk along a busy freeway to get to the home as he's dressed like a freaking bunny and walking along the road a drunk driver saw him and crashed his car a little ways up the road this freaked him out so he walked down the hill to the home for a bit and called 9-1-1 as the police were arriving he heard the driver tell the cops that he saw a freaking huge rabbit it freaked him out when he saw it and didn't notice where he was going which later the crash disclaimer because not a santa and not creepy just hoping someone knows my mystery santa i know this will get buried but in 2008 i was living in columbia city and when our local firehouse was holding fire annual meet and greet with santa i was 32 years old sitting on a simple volunteer's lap when he said and what would you like for christmas young lady mind you i was just diagnosed with uterine cancer in a severely abusive marriage from heck i was overweight and suffering from severe depression so it took everything i had in me not to break down into tears when i leaned in close and whispered my christmas wish to this man i said i would like to see my daddy one more time before i die i'm over 800 miles away from him right now and haven't seen him in six years so all i want is to see my daddy just one more time four months later i was told i only had six to nine months to live and was issue disability benefits immediately the first thing i did was get on a train and head back east to see my daddy i'll be cancer-free five years next month i don't know about you but i feel my little wish was granted my father passed away four years ago yesterday and i think of that volunteer fireman playing santa every single christmas not sure if this counts but my buddy was santa a few years back at a local shopping center and this kid came up to him and sat on his lap now my friend isn't the tallest or most robust guy out there so he didn't exactly look like a stereotypical fat santa i guess this kid picked up on it and got upset and said all he had wanted for christmas was to have a good conversation with the real santa and that my friend was clearly an imposter so a few debates later with the kids parents and the janitor who was much more santa esque in stature got dressed up in a spare suit they had and the kid was satisfied i did it for a year many years ago and never had a creepy one but one kid really got me when he wished for his dog and brother back he said they both were hit by a car and both died yes it made me tear up i was emma santa for my local special olympics group i wish i could remember the count on kids asking to stop being bullied for me to fix there whatever is wrong with them i.e autism down syndrome it's enough to make a grown man cry i've participated in shop with a cop for a few years and my kids have wanted fairly normal things bikes doors lego or video games we get an 80 gift card at walmart for each child and help them spend it the barcodes on the items are then marked through so the gifts can't be returned most kids and their parents really appreciate it but occasionally you get a kid who has been coached and you have to gently deprogram them you are not spending 80 on trashy jewelry for your dad's girlfriend anyway an officer i worked with had a heartbreaker a few years ago generally we don't buy gift cards or things that require lots of batteries we have a bit of leeway though which can be a very good thing as evidenced here the child in question wanted a gift card for steak and shake that was it all the money for steak and shake when asked about it it turned out that he had figured out the price of a milkshake during their happy hour and figured he could get one a week through the end of the school year if we'd get him the gift card he was nine and looked six he ended up with a pretty decent gift card i hope he was able to use it the way he planned my dad plays santa every year for a bunch of corporate parties and our local version of ronald mcdonald house they take a bunch of sick kids on a flight with santa on a corporate jet according to him the absolutely most heartbreaking part of it is when little kids who are basically in hospice care ask santa to make them better for christmas second place is seeing all different kids every year cause none of them ever live long enough to go twice if you are new to the channel you can subscribe i publish new videos every day until then
