Officials at the Old Colorado City Associates sent out a press release moments ago to announce that Santa is snowed in and unable to make it to the cabin at Bancroft Park Thursday (12/22/11.)

Can’t he put a blade on the front of that sleigh? Certainly the reindeer could help him out here.

Santa’s spokesman went on to promise that the fat guy will be there from noon to 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday (until 4 p.m. on Christmas Eve).
