When my kids were small, they were taken to see the jolly red fat man at a local emporium and were quite delighted when they came out that they had proved that he was not the real Santa, as his eyebrows weren't white :rock::rock::rock::rock::rock:

Franchise operation, a little like tooth-fairies..

<aside>
Overheard in the queue to see Santa (at Chasewater Railway Santa specials), the queue was a little long.. Despite telling them on the information they get to allow two hours, 'we should have gone to Telford (shopping centre), they have ten Santa's there!'

*We have a magic-curtain, and a door-bell.. Our grotto uses TARDIS technology, so we can manipulate time and space, and have two families seeing The Big Red Man at once!! ;):think::lipssealed::lipssealed:

When I still believed the jolly fat man was real, my father explained away the fact that the santa at Wanamakers department store was the real Santa and the Santas at Lit Brothers, Gimbels, Strawbridges and Snellenburgs were his helpers. It was somewhat perplexing the next year as we visited Gimbals first and the real deal Santa was there !
 
All the red boxes I have, are 'repairs' for 'customers'..
No, honestly!

I don't have a big red suit but I do have a waistcoat (vest for our US members) and a jumper to help celebrate the provider of big red boxes..... at C.

My eldest son did the whistle blowing act when he was eight - a notorious light sleeper, he came back from his first term at boarding school (cathedral choir schools are required to sing on the morning of 25 December, so school is 'normal' when the fat man is riding in his sleigh) and announced that actually FC was the headmaster, because he had seen him leaving the presents.

By way of explanation, cathedral choir school choristers are treated very well during the festive period, because everybody thinks they get such a bad deal, not being able to go home until the afternoon of 25 December - with the result that they get a very b****y good deal :nod::nod::nod::nod::nod:
 
Of course its true - he said 'When' !
