I once had a bunch of kids line up to tell me they were being good... I was puzzled till an adult with them apologized for telling them that Santa was watching them... and I happened along... I wasn't impersonating you on purpose, honest, I was being good...

Now, what kind of cookies do you want for my presents? I want new scanning software, a new parka, a tilt-shift lens (any Canon T/S lens will do), a cord of dry wood (not for me but to keep my wife warm), a new van (4WD if possible), and the rest is in my letter, you did get it, didn't you?

Peace

I used to get funny looks in December, when I had the full beard. Especially if I was wearing oil of peppermint in my mustache!

Once, when the kid actually asked his mother if I was.....I had to admit, I actually DID make toys!

This is really wonderful to hear. I knew my beard had become really white when, one March, a little girl in an airport told me Merry Christmas! Her parents were very embarrassed and apologetic but I just had to laugh. It made me feel really good, having been a huge Santa fan myself, growing up.

"Some years I've been Santa for money. This year, I haven't tried to get paying gigs.
But turns out, I've been getting rich just the same."

this is why you're one of my favorite santas ever.
