Creating the lyrics, music and video for this project was a blast.  It's certainly not your conventional "Christmas" song that carolers will be singing at your door! We filmed it in Nashville and everyone involved freely contributed ideas that made it even more entertaining. After the shoot, the people playing the fairy tale characters went after each other and we left those out-takes in under the credits....they were just too funny to cut out! We spontaneously changed the vacation scene from a poolside location to the small graveyard, which added to the surreal quality.

Lindsey Langley played Santa expertly.  Despite small clues throughout the video to hint that Santa is actually a woman, most viewers are so engrossed in the action that the end is a surprise.

Tom Henninger played the Head's best friend with great animation.  A prolific musician, Tom embraced the lyrics and the song came to life.  He composed and performed and the music.

        Don't Like Santa



    Well, I went to the mall with my friends, right around Christmas time

Santa sat on his throne near the tree there wasn’t any line 

As a joke I went and sat on his knee

My friends all thought it’d be funny 


But then Santa touched me inappropriately

Oh I don’t like Santa, but Santa likes me


I wondered to myself, did anyone else see?

I felt him do it quickly and so secretly

I didn’t want to make a scene, didn’t want publicity

Then Santa held me back as I was trying to leave


They say he’s fat and jolly, but that’s not reality

Oh I don’t like Santa, but Santa likes me


He asked what I wanted for Christmas, I said to get away

He said he’d take me anywhere and he’d even pay

He said how ‘bout taking a cruise and sailing the seven seas

He said he’d share his stateroom and he aims to please


He whispered he’s got love in his beard and under his belt

He said I was special to him and about the love he felt

I have to admit there was something about his smile

That made my heart melt


 I didn’t believe in Santa, but it’s plain to see 

I don’t like Santa, but Santa likes me


Now how this event will affect me; I’m just starting to see

I can’t face the Easter Bunny or the thought of Halloween

I pray that my teeth don’t fall out; cause by now it’s plain to see

I’m scared that I’ll wake up and find the Tooth Fairy


I may be safe at Thanksgiving, maybe a valentine or two

But I run from Frosty the Snowman, and I avoid the man on the moon

They’re all supposed to represent feelings of fun and good cheer

But I’m unsettled by the symbol used to bring joy throughout the year


Well, thanks to St. Nick, I’m leavin’ ASAP

I don’t like Santa, but Santa likes me


Well, thanks to St. Nick, I’m leavin’ ASAP

I don’t like Santa, but Santa likes me… Santa likes me
