A naughty Father Christmas was back in front of Macy’s hitting up naive tourists and their kids for cash on Sunday.

One mom said the man destroyed her 7-year-old son’s image of Santa Claus because the Kris Kringle asked for a cash “donation’’ right in front of the youngster after she took a photo of them together.

“If your child sees you paying a Santa, it destroys it for them,” said Leona Erziak, 35, who lives in Soho. “My son still believes in Santa. He said, ‘Mom, he’s not a real Santa Claus because he asked for money.’ ”

The Santa, who identified himself as Bruce Clark, 35, of Bushwick, Brooklyn, made the front page of The Post last week because of his antics.

He insisted on Sunday, “I’m following all the laws, I’m a street performer!

“I’ve never been arrested, I’ve never been ticketed. If the police need me to move along, I would move along.”

Cops eventually asked him and another St. Nick panhandler to scram at 5 p.m.
