She's director of a daycare, one of those nationwide chain types and has a staff of 10 and about 60 kids there. Here regular Santa couldn't make it and she asked if I would do it, I have my own beard, a small belly from good food, and white hair that I wear long pulled back in a ponytail normally. We just brushed it out and left it long. She rented me a suit and it was great! The best part was when the know it all Kindergartners arrived and were sure my beard was fake, I had them pull it to check, that really convinced them! I usually get santa comments around Christmas and enjoy them. The problems mentioned hadn't occured to me, about being sued etc. I work in 2 high schools frequently with no supervision, something to think about. Mike -- Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.
