The advent of the holidays has caused the following to occur:
· Two lumps of coal for this lady: A substitute teacher in Britain, upset that her young students were getting rowdy chatting about Santa, stunned the 7-year-olds by blurting out that (SPOILER ALERT!) the jolly old man doesn't exist.
Upon hearing "It's your parents who leave out presents on Christmas Day," the children burst into tears. The "magic of Christmas" has been ruined, one father later lamented. As for the teacher, she's been disciplined, parents were told.
· A gift for Kris Kringle: A volunteer Santa who was clawed and bitten by a large animal -- part house cat and part bobcat -- won't need rabies shots after all.
The animal and its owner vamoosed after Sunday's incident during a charity photo event at a New Jersey pet store, leaving Santa wondering if he'd been exposed to more than just fleas. But now the owner has come forward with papers showing that the cat, named Benny, has been vaccinated.
