Bring an umbrella if you go out in the reindeer

Just who or what (PDF) is trying to steal Christmas?

Every year, Santa Claus rappels down Landmark Tower in Stamford, CT. My question is: In the PDF linked above, who is the figure standing on top of the building, lookin all witchy? The best guess anyone I've asked has had so far is Ebenezer Scrooge. Anyone got a better answer?

Looks like a mix between Lavar Burton and Sir Roger Moore. I think I'm right.

Best answer: His name's Bah Hum Bug (from Google cache).

Presumably he's a generic anti-Christmas-spirit kind of guy.

Odd article to find it in. I thought I might be able to check it out, since I come from the area (next county over), but instead I found it in that article about a blizzard.

Anyway, 1/8 of my answers marked "best" isn't bad, so far. *buffs fingernails*

Looks like Jack Skellington (Nightmare Before Christmas) in a bad suit.
