Advice needed - playing Santa

Asking for advice on this might be one of the more regrettable things I'll post on here, but here goes:

I've volunteered to be Santa Claus at a local Christmas fayre. Apart from being able to say "Ho hi ho" and having a natural Santa physique, anyone with any good advice on pulling off a good performance?

Thanks :thumbup:

Make sure your sack is clean and full :hehe:

Get the flu vaccine

Find some assistants by contacting the National Elf Service.

Don't ply the kids with City stats.

Leave out the ‘hi’ & put another ‘ho’ in 👍

Don't ask if the child's mother want to have a rummage around Santa's sack.

Kiddy fiddler

If the plan is to say "ho hi ho" you probably need the ability to distinguish an elf from a dwarf!

Mr half wasp. I think you have had some very sage advice on here today.:hehe:

If the kid says they want a Swansea shirt then tell them they'll only get that if they haven't been good. If they've been good they'll get a Cardiff shirt.

I had to be CRB'ed

I am " Santa clause " for our local swimming club, 4 sessions so 4 goes at it for me

My advice, dont wear your new " quechua hiking boots " that you are breaking in, as your youngest will spot them and point them out to everyone

Is Eric helping the Police with their enquiries yet?

Sit on your hands.

I'd play him at centre-half, he can't be any worse than Bamba (who also likes to give away gifts).
