P.S. Naughty Santa — 12.10.10

John Toomey, the naughty Santa Claus who was fired from Macy's, visits with nine-year-old Retta Campbell of Sebastopol, Calif., on the first day of his new job in San Francisco. Toomey lost his 20-year job playing St. Nick at the Macy's downtown San Francisco store last weekend after an adult couple complained about a joke he made. He has since taken up a position playing Santa at Lefty O'Doul's, a nearby pub. Earlier this week he was on Jay Leno's "Tonight Show." (AP Photo/Eric Risberg)
