Santa’s having some bad luck after his big day.

A plastic Santa was seen stranded in the middle of an icy pond—which some residents say is beginning to look a little thin—in Palmer Ranch/Hidden Valley subdivision.

A resident spotted the Santa and took to Facebook to seek its owners. Concern for the Big Guy’s wellbeing poured in.

“The ice is going to thaw and he’ll drown,” wrote another. “Someone please save him!”

“Go home Santa, you’re drunk.” one commenter wrote.

“Hopefully he will hold up til the polar vortex gets here to save him,” still another commented.

Things look iffy for Santa tonight, which forecasters say will be mostly rainy, but if he can hold on until Saturday night, snow and 15 degrees might help firm up the water he’s walking on.

It’s unclear if the Santa ended up there as a result of weather and wind, or if his new hangout is the work of pranksters. Residents should be warned of the danger of walking on thin ice, and are advised to avoid it if possible.

Whose Santa is it? Rope him in and bring him home before it’s too late!
