Santa

Citigroup, Amherst NY

Self Portrait. Me after about 60 kids sitting on my lap. Last year the guy who plays Santa at our company Children's Christmas Party selected not to do it anymore. He is my boss; for the last two years now I have been Santa.

It is actually rather fun.

Olympus D-580Z
1/30s f/3.1 at 5.8mm iso100 with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

Don, I was a Santa for four years back in college. It's a great job and you look quite jolly! Looks like real fur in the cap, too. I'm sure your boss is happy... LOL
