Rudolph And Ruins

Abandoned Santa Parks

Whether the early displays of holiday cheer fill your heart with anticipation for the coming winter months, or dread and irritation for another long, bombastic season of endless carols and swarming lights, there's no denying that the Christmas spirit is again taking its hold.

Some places have tried to capture this fleeting joy year-round with 'Santa Parks' where there are always prancing reindeers and busy elves. Yet even this attempt at capturing holiday joy as a sort of amusement park has its expiration date. These Santa Parks have been abandoned and left to ruin.
