Title: Who's gonna tip Santa
Post by: Lee Burbidge on November 03, 2013, 10:41:36 am
At Christmas time, the week or two lead up to Christmas do you dress up as Santa and if so do you do this for tips or fun ?

I don't.  ;D

My wife's stepfather who's in his early 70's does for charity out in Tenerife - quite incongruous really - no snow down in the cities and towns; sunbathing on the beach and he dresses as Santa.

He has a full head of white hair and a beard you could keep a badger in. (not really but a full white beard nevertheless.)

He is quite "rotund", wears glasses and really looks the part.

He's short enough to be a garden gnome type helper but the white beard and full head of hair just makes him favourite for Santa.

Wow a real saving on costume rental lol.... I had two subby working for me several years ago ( good friends of mine) they dressed as Santa every year and increased there pay by collecting 100's in Christmas tips. I have never tried this myself...... here are other comments that have been made today on this subject:

Scott Says:  yes i have a wkd turkey hat! customers love it lmao, fun and tips

I think it screams desperation its obvious why people do it...for the tips.

dressing up as spiderman at a childrens hospital though would be awesome.
