I was driving across the Bay Bridge from Oakland to San Francisco last week, when out of the blue some young guy leans the upper half of his body WAAAY out of the passenger's side window and yells something at me. I couldn't hear what he said; but he was looking directly at me and waving frantically. As luck would have it, his lane of traffic slowed down, while mine flowed at a much faster pace, enabling me to catch up with that same car....
"Hey, Santa!!" he yelled (EXTREMELY audibly this time, unfortunately)...
I just smiled and waved, --- almost as if I was unconsciously trying my best to stay in-character, so as not to disappoint the guy that i WASN'T Santa (in case he still believed in "me" - lol)....
Needless to say, yesterday morning I trimmed my beard. Now, if only I could lose some weight as well, I won't have to worry about a repeat of this experience when Christmas-time comes (lol).
Sorry, guys, --- nope, I didn't take any Santa pics of myself before the beard got trimmed!

No santa pics?!
Waaaaah!
Otherwise, that's a pretty interesting encounter. I haven't heard that one used on anyone before, and I'd prefer being called Santa than a drug user, so be happy lol.
Santa's cool Ken! Hehe:D, maybe you should dress up as him on christmas and give out christmas presents to children, some extra job beside your usual work, lol haha:D
I get the same comment around Christmas - or when ever I wear a red shirt (which is why I rarely do).

Go with it, bro! I hope my hair goes silver in my old age (and I'm NOT saying you're old, by any means!), just like my maternal grandfather's, whose hair I seem to have inheirited, just so I can be a believable incarnation of Father Christmas.
It's a noble station, friend. If you've got what it takes to create that kind of magic, if only for a short time out of each year, I say "yeah!" There's far too little magic for children to believe in these days. And hey, you can always lose the extra padding after New Year's.
A lot of pics of Santa without his hat have him with long-ish hair, down to his shoulders.
Hmmm...
He may have paved a way for you to a new seasonal career, lol. And Santa isn't a bad thing. He thinks you're a saint after all. :)
aww,
i think that is amazing
now you mention it, you do look like santa!
Neil always gets jesus comments,
i dont know which is better,
both are hard to live up too!
I get the "Santa" comments this time of year, but it's generally from people who can show you how old they are using one hand. [g]

Can I have a motorcycle for Christmas, please Santa, LOL!
I probably need to avoid wearing a red shirt around the end of December too.
