One of our customers.....................................

[Gino]

Here is one of our customers..... hard at work.... or hardly working.

He is all real. Nothing at all fake from the tummy to the beard to the twinkle in his eye. For 6 weeks before Christmas he is booked almost 7 days a week, making close to $350 an hour. He has one gig that brings him in for 3 or 4 hours every Saturday up until Christmas. He's in a lotta of the parades and is really sought after for his incredible ability to pull this off..... and he thoroughly enjoys it.

He buys many signs from us as he's very popular with everyone for miles and miles around. He has stuff in New York, New Jersey, Delaware and all over Pennsylvania.

I like my job and the many wonderful customers we have.

I have one of these customers as well! Not just someone dressing up as Santa, the real Santa Claus....his checks say so... No joke, his legal name is Santa Claus.

He looks legit!

I had to coordinate a Santa when I did marketing at one of our malls here and they always used the same guy. He was really good at his job and great with the kids. He was always in "uniform" for obvious reasons and he would make some very non-santa-like comments...he even confessed that his favorite gigs were the "dirty santa" adult themed parties cuz all the ladies would sit on his lap...TMI! Goodbye to the last shred of innocence I may have had.

:ROFLMAO: I know that's from like the 70's but was that on your 2012 or 2013 list ?? Evidently, you were a bad boy that year. That guys knows...... all. Don't mess with him.

Yup, that one was highly coveted and in our working class neighborhood, we and most of our buddies did not get one.

We've owned one too for the past eight years. Real deal year round.

Cool....

I'm gonna be set in about 20 years, when I'm fully white and put on the 30-40 pounds I feel are coming...

I finally have a retirement plan!

I think it requires being nice to people, which eludes you most times.

Not if you're working at Macy's or Gimbles..... they'll tear ya a new a$$hole without batting an eyelash. They did it to Kris Kringle back in 1947, 1973 & 1994 and they'll certainly haul you off, too.

my parents had to tell me there was no Santa as I totally believed, not because of Santa but because of NORAD. growing up in the cold war, I believed they kept us safe from the commie hoards and would never lie to us. they tracked him on the same radar they used to track those commie a-bombs that might come our way so it had to be real. when I found it was all just a big lie, I was shattered as not only was Santa fake our protectors lied. I can't look at a Santa even today without getting ticked off

That was just the other year, huh ?? :Big Laugh

You had doubts, when Reagan said tear down this wall, but when the KGB went bankrupt, you stopped believing.

​

Hmmmm..... still believing at age 57. How sweet.

nope Reagan around back then. the Cuban missile crisis and Khrushchev banging his shoe on a table saying he would bury us and civil defense drills where we ducked and covered. the real cold war. I really believed NORAD was how we would make it thru and they wouldn't lie to us so Santa had to be real. I think I was 8 or 10 at the time when I found out my parents and government lied to me

there's a great article floating around the web, about the guy who put Santa's tracking info on NORAD
..I forget the story (since just last month ) but remember it was interesting!
