I started working at a Nursing home in August 2023. In October they asked me to be Santa. It was the greatest thing to happen to me. This year my wife in joining me as Mrs. Clause.
@asherbassett7404 That would be a great video. The first thing I ask is, how old they are, when they tell me, for example 6, I'll act surprised and say, wow you're getting so big, I remember last year when you were only 5. Makes them, and the parents smile every time. And most questions they ask i typically answer with a question. For example, when they ask, "Are you the real Santa, I'll ask, do you believe I'm the real Santa. This is a great video idea. Thank you.
@imaginarytoast7659 yes there actually is. The Worldwide Santa Claus Network offers training for Mrs. Clause and there are also females that do portray Santa as well.
Hey, Tom. Many thanks for this video. I am subscribed to a UA-cam channel, called North Country Santa, that run by a professional Santa Claus. He has very nice videos on his channel. One time, I asked him to do a video on how to Germanic/Norse god, Odin, influenced Santa Claus. Let's just say that he accepted the challenge. He also has videoes on Krampus, La Befana, Belsnickel, the Ghost of Christmas Present, and the difference between Santa Claus and Father Christmas (the last three I requested to him). Perhaps you can do a similar thing on your channel. Did you know that the candy cane was originally made to be used as a bribe to keep the choir children quiet?
I love portraying Santa. It’s been the most fun I’ve ever had and I’ve met so many wonderful people. Thank you so much for the advice.😊
