So, if we had a worldwide Chrimbo Party who here would be Santa, who would play his funny little helpers (either gender!) and who plays Rudolf ... and why?

Not sure who would be Santa (Belmondo??) but there's no shortage of 'funny little helpers' around here :-)

Ho Ho Ho...

I play Santa every year for my Grandchildren. It is fun and I guess everyone thinks that I fit the part.

Either Skip or Belmondo for Santa, CDS for Rudolph (seems appropriate ;) ), Tommy and Maureen for elves.

Well he hasn't Paypal'd me as yet so best I can offer at the moment is a supervisory position in the department of jingles and little ding-a-lings along with MC CyberD and MD Jakov :D There may also be a post of stamp licker coming up in the next few days as we're not expecting Ronald Jr Sn to stick with it :D

Now that was a lot of thought...

Once I threatened to give Anthony Edwards, the actor from Top Gun and E.R. an enema (you had to have been there). George Clooney was there as well and he capitalized on that threat... I bet he would have paid good money to have me follow through on it!!!


Life is hard...but I just take it one photograph at a time.

The problem with having my particular body type is that people look at me and think, "Santa." In fact, I used to play Santa for the Kiwanis club when they took toys to a home for challenged children, and it was a heart-wrenching job. Most of the children had severe retardation, and a large number of them actually believed in.....ME.

I'd be happy serve as Santa under those circumstances any time.

Realistically, the honor should go to Pekka. He's bought and paid for the privelege with his blood, sweat, and tears, not to mention, money.


I'm not short. I'm concentrated awesome!

Why wouldn't they believe in YOU? We all do :confused: Anyway, by the by ... if you ain't up for it then maybe Doc can step in after all, especially as he's been in weight training this last 4 months and added about 30 pounds :D

As to Pekka taking the roll well it can only be bought in UK Pound Sterling via Paypal ... blood, sweat, tears do not show up on www.xe.com (external link) as a valid unit of currency :rolleyes:
