When was the last time a single black male invaded a home in the middle of the night and actually LEFT something of value?

Back in the 1990s, the MTA in Baltimore had one of its bus drivers dress up as Santa and drive his route while in the red costume during the month of December. This particular driver was a black man, and his friendliness and jolly-ness with his passengers made him the spitting image of Old Saint Nick himself. I recall one time ending up on his bus during the off season, and he was just as friendly then as he was while in costume.

I don’t know if that man is still driving a bus, or if he retired to the North Pole. But he certainly helped “normalize” the concept of a black Santa for me.

Krampus. The movie was the first I ever heard of it - although I understand Dwight from The Office dressed as him 1 Christmas party.
It was a good, creepy movie.

They annually have a “SAMURAI SANTA’ here in Los Angeles Little Tokyo in an ornate throne and samurai outfit.

He’s been around for at least 20 years.
