'Bad Santa' & 'Santa Clause' Are Top Naughty & Nice Santas in Blockbuster Survey
Posted on: Wednesday, 10 December 2008, 04:00 CST
The survey, conducted on blockbuster.com last month, asked movie lovers to choose their favorite naughty and nice Santas portrayed on the big and small screens.
"Some get in the holiday spirit by watching a movie with a merry Santa,
while others get their jollies from a more mischievous version of St. Nick.
The good news is, whether your stocking is going to be full or have a lump of
coal this year, there's a Santa movie for you," said
Survey participants' other favorite traditional Santa Clauses were those in "Miracle on 34th Street," "Elf" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." Top anti-Santa portrayals selected were those in both films portraying Dr. Seuss' Grinch and in "The Christmas Story."
Those who want to rekindle their faith in Santa -- or who prefer a more cynical version of Claus -- can consult these lists of America's Favorite Naughty & Nice Santas to get in the holiday mood.
