When I was in college I filled in last minute at a "lunch with santa" event hosted for under privledged kids... I had a blast and the parents all commented on how trim santa was that year.. Thankfully I don't have any pic of my 150# (then) scrany ass in a santa suit, with a pillow stuffed in around my waste...
Kids could have cared less how big i was(n't) or that my beird was a bit big on me etc... All they wanted to know was if/when I was bringing their toys..
