Being Santa Claus is hard work. There’ll be children waiting for hours for the opportunity to sit on Santa’s lap and tell him what they want for Christmas. You’ll need to listen to them, pose for photographs with them and send them on their way. You’ll wear your big red suit, Santa hat and spectacles, while you smile and talk to the children. As the children sit on your lap, you’ll ask them what they want for Christmas and if they’ve been good this year. Santa will be sat on his throne all day surrounded by his elves for hundreds of children who come to visit him!

Children are straight-talkers so get ready for any number of crazy questions like ‘what’s your favourite reindeer?’ ‘How do you fit down my chimney?’ and ‘what if I don’t have one?’, ‘What happens if your sleigh breaks down?’, ‘Where do you go in the summer?’ Or ‘how do you travel around the entire world in one night?’ You always have to be on your toes and in character with a creative answer at-the-ready! Plus, be prepared for children to yank at your beard!

Ideally, Santa is going to physically look the part. Older, a white beard, a hearty laugh and a large tummy. Ultimately, your job is to bring joy to children. Playing Santa is an important part of Christmas. So how’s your “Ho-Ho-Ho?”.
