'Tis the season...

...for a homicidal Santa with severed doll heads. Well, at least that seems to be the case for the owners of one New York home:

...the Krupniks think it has spirit. They've lived in the Gramercy Park brownstone for years. Their decorations, they say, is [sic] a way to protest the commercialization of Christmas.

Darla Krupnik, Created the Display: "People who don't like it, it's not really our problem. They just don't have to look at it. Just cross the street, and for kids, their mothers and dad just need to take them away, that's all."

Doesn't seem very festive, if you asked me, but it's on private property so there's really nothing anybody can do about it. Either way, I'd still rather have this across the street from me than that guy's Paris Hilton Christmas decorations.

While I'm harping on this, check out the following unintentionally hilarious bit from the New York article:

"Regina", Gramercy Park Resident: "Children that are walking by, it's the Christmas season, all the little kids that believe in Satan Claus [sic], what would they think when they see something like that? It's really shocking and disturbing."

Actually, "Regina," I don't think a gory display like that would really bother kids who believe in Satan Claus.
