Ho, Ho, Ho, Oh, You're Fired

You know the economy is getting bad when even Santa gets laid off.

Michael Graham has played jolly old St. Nick at Tysons Corner Center in Virginia for 18 years. It had gotten to the point where kids who sat on his knee when he first started where coming back with their own kids.... And he's not even a Catholic priest.

Now the mall's management has informed him that they don't want him back this Christmas season. No real reason was given, except that there's a new photographer who wants to use his own Santa.
