SpongeBob Santa Claus Meme Template

A live-action Santa sits in his sleigh beside a sack of wrapped presents, waving cheerfully with a white glove, then starts flailing, grabs at his hat and topples sideways until he is lying flat in the bottom of the sleigh.

Over the top runs a non-stop, increasingly unhinged chain of "Ho ho ho" that never pauses for breath.

It lands best around late December, for festive cheer that has clearly gone too far.
