LOS ANGELES — "Santaaaaaa!!! I know him!"
Almost 20 years since "Elf" became a holiday classic, it is almost impossible to see a Santa, any Santa, and not reenact, or at least think of, Will Ferrell as Buddy the Elf utterly freaking out over seeing a department store Santa. Or Buddy's horrified gasp of "You're not Santa" when he realizes this is not the real deal.
So if, say, you're asked to be Santa at a fundraiser that involves Ferrell taking pictures with you and a variety of guests, there has to be some pressure, right? Some concern that you might be accused of "sitting on a throne of lies" and smelling like "beef and cheese"?
