Slow Saturday Special: Santa Scares New Hampshire Students

"Trying to spread cheer, a Santa in N.H. scares instead

Police in southern New Hampshire say a man dressed as Santa Claus was only trying to spread some cheer but ended up panicking officials when he knocked on school windows and entered the building. The Nashua Telegraph reported that administrators at the Hollis Primary School called police around 10 a.m. Thursday after they saw the man running around the school, tapping on windows and waving at students. He was buzzed into the building but fled when he saw a look of alarm on a staff member’s face. Other schools and parents were notified, and pupils were kept inside for recess. The man has contacted police to say he was only trying to spread ‘‘holiday cheer.’’

"Poll finds many in N.H. staying home for holidays

A survey says most New Hampshire residents are staying home for the holidays. A WMUR Granite State Poll conducted by the University of new Hampshire Survey Center says 84 percent of residents surveyed will not go away on vacation. Nearly half of them are not getting any vacation time. Only 14 percent of the residents surveyed plan to go out of town on vacation. Just over half of New Hampshire households surveyed planned to put a real Christmas tree in their home this year, with 35 percent having an artificial tree. Ten percent will have no tree."

And all of them will be armed and looking for a murderous pervert dressed as Santa that is roaming the area.
