A New York state of mind: Santa gets a parking ticket

A New York state of mind: Santa gets a parking ticket <dl class="byline"><dd>December 18, 2008</dd></dl> NEW YORK - Santa Claus says he's added a New York City traffic agent to his naughty list, after she gave him a ticket for double-parking while delivering gifts to children.

Chip Cafiero says he'll fight the $115 ticket that he received in Brooklyn on Black Friday, when he was dressed as Santa.

The 60-year-old retired schoolteacher was riding a horse-drawn carriage and handing out toys and candy canes. A sport utility vehicle carrying the toys and protecting the horse from traffic was double-parked next to him.

Santa says he yelled "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to get the traffic agent's attention because the SUV wasn't blocking traffic. But in his words, "This Grinch just went ahead and fined me."
<!-- END rail --> Local politician Martin Golden calls the parking ticket "ridiculous."

Police won't comment.
