I just got asked to do Santa for a day care center that is about a mile from here. The guy that they'd been having for years has stopped, and they were apprehensive about just hiring someone from the newspaper -- this is, after all, a day care, so they want to be confident that they've got someone who won't turn up on a Most Wanted episode. I told them I'd be glad to do it -- and as a bonus, they knew of a cub scout troop that used the same guy, and might need someone, too. Apparently, there's a Santa Underground here....
This gives me some ideas about things I could do to liven up the Santa experience, but, as I don't want to get arrested, I don't think I will.
Wow-- being Santa is a high honor!
ReplyDeleteDo you already have a suit?
Yup. Bought it about three years ago. And this year I hope, at least once, to wear my actual hair and beard (dyed white).
ReplyDeleteA little apprehensive about the homeless kids' event, and kind of bummed that the hospital decided not to do it this year, but the rest -- the office, the day care kids, and visiting at least one local family -- should be fun.
