War on Christmas alert! Santa attacked while riding in parade!!
Santa got K.O.’d by a reindeer? Nope, by a thrown object

SPOKANE, Wash. — A man dressed as Santa Claus was knocked unconscious by a thrown object that hit his face while he was riding on the back of a truck decorated as a sleigh.

Kevin Smith says he never saw what hit him Saturday. Whatever it was, it broke his nose and gave him a concussion and two black eyes.

“One second I was up there waving to people, and the next minute I wasn’t,” Smith said.

He was taking part in Santa Run, sponsored by the firefighters union, which features off-duty firefighters who dress up as Santa and ride through residential areas handing out candy to children.

2. I feel sorry for him but
So help me it reminds me of an old Top Ten List from David Letterman - the Top Ten Things to Do at the Macy Thanksgiving Parade, and one of them was, "Knock out Santa, take his place dressed as Roy Orbison."
