"I’d envisaged a steroid-fuelled Hard Rock Café mated with a slick, Warner Bros theme park ride, whereas what I found was more comparable to those incredible failing grottoes that open in the UK each Christmas, where the elves smoke Marlboros behind a foam-spitting snow machine next to a donkey with conjunctivitis that makes the kids cry."

It’s not like I want people to be disappointed even if they’re naive, but assuming they get their money back promptly, a lot of the parents interviewed are shamelessly milking it for all it’s worth.
A child being heartbroken on the day by a shit Christmas experience is one thing. A child being told weeks ago they’re going to go at some point over Christmas to a wonderland theme park they haven’t seen and don’t know what to expect of, then told they might have to go somewhere else to see Santa instead is nowhere near as traumatic. Just promise the kid a different magical day out ffs, or don’t even bother tell them you’re taking them to a different gig altogether, and most won’t even notice anyway.

It's a pie rather than a winter wonderland and a substantially sized manbaby rather than a disappointed little tot, but I feel this article is very much in the spirit of the thread. Look at that pout!

I flogged Xmas trees outside Morrisons a few years ago. I did OK cash wise, but it would have to be a lot more to make me want to stand outside dealing with the public in Winter again.
