A Florida man may be a real life Grinch after telling children there is no Santa Claus. Families attending Cape Coral’s Festival of Lights Saturday were greeted with a man, who was not named, holding a large sign and yelling that parents lie to their children about Santa being real, WBBH reported. The man stood there for hours and some children left in tears. Cape Coral Police at the event weren’t able to do anything because of the man’s freedom of speech, WBBH wrote.
