Well, an actual formerly alive santa-head on a stick outside a successfully defended business or home would certainly be an in-kind response to those tards who hung the santa mannequin outside their house.
Heck, putting the head of the burglar on a stick outside your business used to guarantee a surge in business for the next few weeks, and as a bonus it would alert the local law enforcement officials that you earned your good-citizen bounty. They'd show up, take the head, and leave a few bucks reward bounty.
Or maybe that's how it works in that OTHER universe right around the corner...
