Making of a Santa's HELPER

Here is our Santa want a be.  Let's see if he can pass the kids test.First he has to whiten his mustache a little bit and put the mustache wax on so he can curl it up for his smiling face. 

 Now he whitens his eyebrows. They are pretty unruly and stick out all over so he kind a has to paint some of those.

 Whoa Santa has lost weight this year so he has to add padding to his belly.  This is so funny because he has gone vegetarian this year so he could lose his belly now he is adding it back on.

 Puts a long sleeve santa red shirt on. Looking more like Santa all ready. I had to put Velcro on the inside of his boots so his fur would stay on the boots.

 Looking good Santa.  I love the curling mustache. Every thing is coming together really well.

 Fastens the belt and will be almost complete.  This suit needs belt loops near the center of the suit because his 3 l/2in leather belt slips done under his belly.

 Finished product I think he will pass.  The close up picture below is certainly one for a Hallmark card don't you think. (OK Patty all except for the not so round glasses).

Santa has many stories to tell in just the 4 days he has worked. I will try and share some.  **There are chairs/sofa setting next to the Santa Land where a lot of older people set and watch the kids.  One gentleman came up to Santa and told him that Santa was making a lot of children happy and said God Bless you. **  One 8 year old boy didn't want to sit on Santa's lap and then told Santa he had been molested 2 times and talked about himself and finally when he left he gave Santa a big hug. ** Most of the 2nd and 3rd graders enjoy math and science.** One little 9 year old girl didn't have a door on her bedroom and people kept coming in and out so she wanted a tent. ** An autistic boy wouldn't have anything to do with Santa but after Santa talked to him for a while he sat down beside Santa and they talked and Santa gave him a coloring book.  When Santa went to hug him the boy quickly put the book behind his back and then hugged Santa.**  An 8 month old girl pulled his beard and wouldn't let go.  **Last night 4 husky men came up, one wearing a Breese football shirt (and filled it out like Drew would) and got a picture with his arm around Santa and then his friend with a Cushing football shirt on, he had no neck, had his also taken.  These guys finished the night off super. 

I am sure he has passed the test.  He is a good Santa's HELPER.
