Happy Holidays from HOTC.

In this festive episode we explore a series of bizarre Christmas-themed crimes. From the arrest of a man who legally changed his name to Santa Claus for a DUI incident, to the dangerous American tradition of mistletoe hunting, and the chaos of a Christmas parade gone wrong .We also recount a prank that nearly ruined the Canadian postal service's Letters to Santa program , and landed some teenagers on Santa's Naughty list.
