This was at the Christmas Tree Lighting event at the Hilton Hotel in Al Ain, UAE December 2011. With about fifty small children sitting together on the floor waiting to hear from Santa....this is what Hilton felt was appropriate to present. Parents looked on in shock and some small children were actually in tears. This was the one opportunity for our children to see Santa this year. Instead of Christmas cheer, they were left with images of a violent abduction. Thanks Hilton.
Just saw part 1 of your video- that was new this year and yes I can see how it was upsetting for the children.

I was there last year and Santa came right down. It looks like he got stuck this time. It was a fantastic show for the kids. My kids loved it and still talk about it. You should have gone to the Rotana and been crushed by the non-christian crowds looking for the freebies from Santa- much more appropriate :)
