No, I don't want to play Santa Claus. No, that doesn't make me a Grinch!

I love Christmas. Honest. It's my favorite holiday and I get excited right after Thanksgiving, just waiting for it! I love the music and the lights and the decorations and everything!

I just don't want to play Santa again this year.

Sure, it was fun once or twice, but then I realized that the folks at work asked me to do it, not because I was a jolly guy or because I was good with kids, or even because they thought I enjoyed it. They asked me to do it because I was a fat white guy who did it a couple times. Seems no one else wants to do it, and those who do just don't quite fit the ol' Santa stereotype. :)

I don't work there anymore, but they still call and ask. So I asked why they keep calling me, even though I don't work there, and that's what they said.

So, this year, someone else has to play Santa. I ain't a gonna do it!

Ick.

To be honest, I enjoy playing Santa. It's always been a lot of fun. But, I just hate being taken for granted....a lot. And, hell, I get enough guff because I'ma big guy....:)

Hi, lovely Rose. :)

And, pretty much, when I said "I really don't want to this year" and stuck to it, that ended it for them.
