I have always enjoyed kids, and Christmas. This was a way to mix both. I started about 20 years ago, with an old second-hand suit and some beard dye. Venues were nursing homes and veterans' events. In 2005, I bought my first professional suit, and although my beard was gray, it still needed a little help to make it white. I added Army Reserve centers and now the USO is one of my biggest and best venues. I also do some home visits for seniors and handicapped children. I take the time with them that they need. It makes them feel special not to be rushed.
Most of my gigs are free (USO, churches, American Legion, etc.) but I do take a few paid gigs now to help support the purchase of new accessories and giveaways. The coins saying Santa caught you being good are a great way to help parents control their rambunctious children in the stores – throughout the year. And the kids are impressed.
