I had to run into Petsmart yesterday to get a few things for my animal friends and I was greeted at the door by 'Santa'. He looked pretty good and authentic and I thought it was a neat gimmick to have him at the front of the store greeting people, Walmart style.

Little did I know that his employers had more in store for him than greeting people. In fact, he was there for people to have their pets pictures taken with Santa.

Now, I love my four legged friends as much as the next person, but c'mon, people....does this strike anyone else besides me as just a little bit absurd?

Or maybe that's why they call him Santa Claws. ;-)
