Several people from the firm I work for (my day job) volunteer to provide a Santa experience to kids from a poor neighborhood each year. Here are some images from this year's outing. I didn't get to choose the backdrop (unfortunately), and the quarters were too close to allow any separation from the background. But it was fun, and the kiddos got prints of the images to take home before Christmas break.

That is one excellent Santa!

Does he have that beard all year round.... if so I guarantee he has little kids wondering if they saw Santa in the supermarket in July and suddenly being just a little better behaved for mum and Dad!

He's totally natural, except for white coloring. Not sure what he uses, but his hair and beard are normally brown... He's very convincing in costume, though.

Here's the Santa that my ex-employer invites each year for all of the employees' kids.
This Santa IS THE REAL DEAL to say the least. He even holds an annual event where Santas from all over the nation come and gather to have a convention of sorts...The last one was at Great Wolf Lodge indoor water park here in Olympia, WA a few months back. He told me it was just a hoot for all of the kids there to see a bunch of Santa's in the off season...
