First off, we wish to express our gratitude to the loyal readers who had made regular visits to the UrbEx Barrie Blog. We have attempted to create an educational and entertaining record of our explorations and have these posted every two weeks. As a result of our work here, we have had 10,000+ page loads from just over 4,000 visitors this year.
As this is Christmas and the snow is very deep (which does not entice us to explore), we hope you enjoy the following festive frivolity. We look forward to your visits in the New Year.
Scary Santa
With the look of complete shock on the youngster's face here, I am left wondering how this large one-eyed ceramic Santa could have sneaked up on him without being observed.
I am feeling rather sorry for this mirthless and most 'un-jolly' fellow. I would suggest that perhaps a few eggnogs be in order before, during and after these mall-sittings.
Here is a case where perhaps too much eggnog may have been used to brace for the onslaught of kidlets.If you are a parent and can see an empty bottle of Jack's under the old fellow's chair, be warned that St. Nick may drop your kid or vomit on their fav p.j.'s.
If parents hesitate to remove a kicking or screaming child from Santa's lap, they would be treated to a lovely portrait such as this.
Furthermore to the parental advice above, please be considerate to Santa and dose your child with Gravol® or perhaps a barbiturate (only under the supervision of a licensed medical doctor) before the trip to your local mall. 
Given the lack of any terror within the eyes of the children seated with the scariest of Santa's, I would assume that the parents indeed did follow the dosing advice above.
Some Santas are rather worth their weight in that they are always vigilant in the department of toy safety. In this image, a very thoughtful Santa is carefully evaluating the choking risk of the toy in his hand.
Some of the readers more advanced in years may remember a time when dinosaurs roamed freely and malls did not exist.Lucky children may have been treated to a visit by Santa (a drunk neighbour or crazy uncle Bob), at their home. These special visits took place upon the 'nice' furniture which were invariably wrapped in heavy plastic.
It is always interesting to see the evolution of the Jolly Elf. In 1944, 'Sandy Claws' resembled a cross between a Tim Burton character and Jason of Halloween fame.Why these kids are not screaming is completely beyond me.
We now turn our attention to other time-honoured Christmas traditions such as having a bucket of KFC Chicken (with complete strangers instead of turkey with the in-laws . . . read:'out-laws').The Colonel here at this Japanese mall take-out is the picture of Christmas itself.
And what better music to accompany your KFC Christmas feast than with the good Colonel himself featured on this special edition music record.This peaceful image of the narcoleptic Sanders too close to the fire harks back to a simpler time before trans-fat.
