Who the hell is that hot woman.
Does "Santa" have moose-dung on his boots?
Say... I like the "helper."

She's one of our seasonal workers. Her name is Ayesha.
How good do I have to be to get that for Christmas?

Oh how i'd love for her to be sitting on my lap right now telling me how naughty she's been. OMG!!!!!!!!
Tell her I said hi.
As promised here are a couple of early shots of my custom made old-fashioned Santa. And, yes, that's me behind the beard.
Santa doesn't care much for milk and cookies. He'd rather have a Rickard's Red.
Santa's helper and what he'd like for Christmas.
She would make my Christmas merry........
The costume does look nice. She looks nicer.
Tell her she's been "very naughty", then stuff her sotcking.
Just out of curiousity ... do Canadian Santas say, "What do you want for Christmas, ay?"
"A pony."
"Thank you kindly."

"They actually pay people to do this in Canada."
It's aboot time I took a nip, eh?
I played Santa for the first time last year for my work (Future Shop) in a cheap conventional costume paid for by the store (only forty bucks). It was light-weight, but the fabric didn't breathe and it was hot as hell. I remember going outside in a blowing snow just to cool off and felt fine out there while everyone else was freezing. I thought that I could have worn my own winter coat all day indoors and would have been more comfortable.
I found that I enjoyed playing Santa but vowed that I would only do it again in a better costume. Remembering last year I decided that I'd make the costume my own and more like an actual garment made with fabric that breathes for more comfort. My instinct was right as I could wear my own costume for hours without being unduly hot and uncomfortable. The outfit itself was a bit heavier weight than the store bought thing but it was much easier to wear for extended periods.
I like greeting folks and spreading cheer and jokes in public as well as around my neighbourhood, but I don't think I could take sitting with kid after kid for hours on end like in a shopping mall.
Making the costume and being Santa brought me a renewed measure of Christmas cheer while there are other things that are discouraging in my life.
But no way on God's Earth would any self respecting man were red fur, especially bright red fur!
