ANAHEIM, Calif. - Santa Claus can build toys, shimmy down a chimney and harness flying reindeer. But one thing he can't do any more is skydive near Disneyland.

An annual "Jingle Bell Jump," with Santa parachuting to the Anaheim Town Square shopping center with gifts and greetings, was canceled for a second year because of a federal law restricting use of area airspace.


Instead, Santa will float in a hot air balloon tethered to the ground Friday

1. 2,000 kids watching Santa burning in would be very bad for business

I doubt it's really about any new Fed laws.

2. As God is my witness, I thought Santa Claus could fly

4. Years ago, there was a tragic accident

when "Santa's" helicopter, scheduled to land at a shopping center parking lot, crashed in front of horrified children.

A skydiving Santa is a similar accident waiting to happen. There's no need to impress kids with "can you top this" Santa dares...They just want to sit on his lap and tell him what they want for Xmas.

6. well from what I've seen at malls

just sitting on his lap freaks most kids out.

7. They're probably scared they're gonna pee on his lap,

and not get any Xmas presents.
