Remember the great scared of Santa photo gallery? Well, if you felt bad that the world would never be able to see the tragic beauty of your photograph of your kid screaming in terror and/or anger at having to sit on the lap of a large stranger with a freakishly long white beard, you're in luck!

Parents.com has just launched a contest for pictures of kids whose encounters with Santa did not go so well. The contest will run until January 15 and the winner with the funniest picture will win a basket of prizes including six (6) DVD box sets, four (4) DVDs, two (2) Crayola Tadoodles sets, one (1) Comfy Easy PC, and one (1) stuffed teddy bear, a total retail value of almost $400.

Since my children were surprisingly well-adjusted about hanging out with anyone at all, I don't have any good pictures of Santa freak-outs.

Who knew that naughtiness and crying in front of Santa might one day pay off?!
