Creepy Christmas Claus

I went to the mall today during lunch to pick up some wrapping paper. Outside of the mall entrance was a bell ringer. She was dressed as Mrs. Claus; black lace-up boots, red broomstick skirt, Christmas sweater, gray wig and red bonnet, and those thin little reading glasses. She was singing (loudly) "We Wish You a Merry Christmas". Believe it or not, this wasn't the creepy part. She also was holding a puppet. Not a cute puppet or Christmas-y puppet. I suppose it kind of looked like Prairie Dawn from Sesame Street. The only thing that made it Christmas-y was that she had a jingle bell collar around her neck. Anyway, she was trying to "ventrilo-quize" this puppet, as if the puppet were singing. When you walked by she would come towards your face with the singing Prairie Dawn.

Just wanted my fellow Collin Creek shoppers to be aware!!

Yikes...that does sound a bit weird! I will be on the lookout for her and the freaky puppet.
