Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

In honor of the past dozen years of Yahoo! Picks, we're calling up favorites from the archives. This feature originally ran December 25, 2005. Two years later, the slideshow is even more packed with images of jolly old men in red velvet suits—and open-mouthed tykes who aren't having anything of it:

"Nothing says Happy Holidays like... sweet little toddlers screaming at Santa." And with that, the chuckling elves at The Chicago Tribune, SouthFlorida.com, and Sun-Sentinel.com have collected, once again, a sack-full of evidence that Santa's "ho ho ho" does not always inspire merry Yuletide cheer. Before children learn to sit up and grin gamely for the camera, they reveal the true nature of being clutched by a guy who lurks behind a blanket of white ringlets. Little Mark Williams barely suppresses the tears. Open-mouthed Amy Hennessy attempts a daring break, only to be restrained by her elder siblings. And perhaps our favorite, Pamela Mendrick lets loose a "Category 5 scream" while never, ever, losing hold of her candy cane.

Also, check out our votes for the Best Picks of 2007. Happy holidays, one and all!
