Bad Santa: 12 Creepy Christmas Clauses

Bringing you the best of the bad Santas, from drunk department store Santas to hobos in Santa suits. Secretly we love the image of a bad Santa. Who can forget the classic image of Dan Ackroyd in the grubby Santa suit, from Trading Places (1983), stuffing a whole smoked salmon inside his jacket. Or the alcoholic thief Billy Bob Thornton played in Bad Santa (2003). There's something undeniably hysterical about the dishevelled look, the black-eye from getting into a parking-lot fight, the blank look of hopelessness and the confused even scared look on the children's faces as being sat on bad Santa's knee scars them for life. There are probably hundreds of such photos out there on the Weird Wide Web, but here are presented 12 of the best.
