The most exciting secrets of mall Santas

Spencer, I've played Santa before, but only in a Department Store. When I wasn't on duty, I visited the hospitals. Even older sick people love Santa, not just kids.

The heck with mall Santas, if I ever played a Santa, I would go to children's hospitals and nursing homes. I can't handle the malls especially around Christmas time. I do respect the mall Santas, and the fact they don't go postal too often

so true carmine

None I manage Santa sets. Of course you left out what the manager does when Santa has a stroke on set. Or a few other things. It's hard work to be Santa and the elves. Parents have a little understanding. I am there from opening to close all six weeks. You think you're tired. Santa and crew are exhausted. Merry Christmas.

Nice pics.

I still love what Santa does for kids 2-92.

Hey guys! Where's my Quiz- QUIZZ CLUB???

My Older Brother dressed up as Santa for one of our Family Reunions. We had to sit on his knee and tell him if we had been good or Bad. And he gave us all ( 3 Sisters) a gift appropiate for only us. It was a Fantastic Christmas. One that I will remember forever. He passed away a couple years later from Pancreatic Cancer. We love you Robert T.

Secret #10 - They always keep a flask on hand for when they get kicked, screamed at, spit on, or peed on.... Haha, just kidding. Nah, now that I have kids and have an excuse to go see Santa, it makes for a good photo op, and I love seeing my 4 year-old smile at his BS beard, and my 2 year-old look at him like he might bite her.

My husband who has a real beard and tummy does. Special needs parties and boys and girl clubs

Didn' t know he went to Santa school. Where is it located? Cannot believe all go to a school with so many Santas everywhere.

I wouldn't be able to handle the mall!! I just don't like to shop I go to a store with a list then I'm done. But as a Santa I would go to hospitals and nursing homes.

Carmine-James Pitaniello Yes I totally agree, that's why I included nursing homes. My mother was in one and I remember the joy everyone had when Santa stopped by, their faces lit up brighter than the Christmas tree lights

My little girl spent her childhood believing in Santa. When she's old enough to understand, she feels betrayed.
