Being Santa - Any tips?

[thetapeworm]

The nursery my daughter goes to have asked me to be Santa for a couple of hours this year, finally I've received some recognition for all the effort gone into building this authentic physique!

I've agreed to do it (they are sorting out the costume) but now I've done this the realisation of it has started to sink in. What the heck does a Santa do and what do I need to know? I was hoping some of you might have experience of this role already and can help me out.

I'm OK with the whole "what's your name?" and "have you been good?" side of things but I'm now wondering if the little darlings (ages 2 > 5) will test me with any questions and if so what do I need to prepare for?

Do I go with an accent? Am I supposed to smell of booze?

I don't even know what all the reindeer are called at the moment.

Hth

I was going to include that in my original list of things I've worked out already but I thought I'd save it for someone else to say

The first of two sessions completed this morning, I was bricking it but soon settled into things once I was in my grotto. No erections to report.

I did notice that the wig was very Jimmy Savile though.
