"SANTA! I KNOW HIM!"

No kidding.....I really do!

And I'll bet you didn't know that in the summer he vacations in the Wildwoods, on the Jersey coast.!

Since the elves have it all under control up at the North Pole, he's taken up a part-time job for a couple of hours on the weekend to make a little extra $ tending a parking lot....seems reindeer feed has gotten a little pricey!

 

This is my buddy Mike. And he indeed runs the parking lot up the street on the weekends.

He's retired, he's a drummer that plays in a rock cover band that plays all over the island, and picks up a little extra cash doing this on the weekends.

He has a cheery, friendly personality, and LOOK at him!

What kid would not believe that he's not the real deal?

As a matter of fact a "Santa scout" actually approached him and offered him a job.

Last year after his Wildwood gig, he went to Santa School out in Pittsburgh, Pa.

The company put him and his wife up in a hotel and covered expenses, while he went through his Santa training, and then they placed him in a mall out there. He was a natural, and absolutely loved the whole experience.

 

sigh...............now I wonder if going to see Santa is going to become a thing of the past. 8-(
