Because Santa is a "fictional" character it isn't really terrorism, NUTTZ. It's the difference between fact and fiction. If they have a problem they can call Tipper Gore and her cronies at the PMRC and Focus On The Family to sue the guy. It's his freedom of expression, just like the guy with the crazy christmas lights. Maybe they kept his neighbors up at night, who knows, but it was hius freedom of expression. When you start drawing a line where do you stop? Sex? Violence? Gore? It's a really gray area to get into. It's unfortunate, perhaps, that the people have to drive down that street to get to and from their houses, thus having to pass the house everytime. But if they want to make such a big fuss out of it they should also be able to drive AROUND the house so their children don't see it.
The reality of life is that you DON'T always get what you want. Take what you get and if you don't like it, write tpo your congressperson, or governor, or whoever you think is going to help you. Because some people whine on a news camera doesn't mean jack crap.
