Love it when the Malls hire a Santa with a real beard. But, I was shocked when I learned what they get paid.
We have a natural Santa that lives in our town and he does not shave for six months each year so that he has the right length beard. He only works from Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve and lives in his RV parked at whatever Mall hires him that year. It is long hours and works every day but he makes enough for them to live nicely the rest of the year. They usually head out before New Years in the RV for someplace warm on a long vacation.
But, he does not like to reminded the rest of the year that he looks like Santa. In fact he gets kind of testy if anyone even mentions Christmas.
Santa looks like a jolly fellow!
