The Betabrand store in San Francisco put this display of a morbidly obese Santa Claus in the store as a photo opportunity for shoppers. It was designed by sculptor Cianna Valley.
Fun facts about Santa The Hutt:
--Now requires 24 reindeer to pull his sleigh.
--Sweats eggnog.
--Crushed three elves to death yesterday.
--Doesn't care if you're naughty or nice; just wants to know if you'll run across the street and get him cigarettes and a sack of chimichangas.
That's what happens when you sample cookies and milk (and other treats) from the homes of millions f loyal children. I'm sure that spiked egg nog didn't help, either. So far, a thousand people have taken a picture with Santa the Hutt during his first week on display.
