Playing Santa at the theatre’s holiday party for subscribers and donors isn’t easy. Kids take this stuff seriously. You have to be careful. Parents – I beg you – if your child tells me what they want for Christmas, give me a sign to let me know if it’s good with you. I cannot be held responsible for tears on Christmas morning when the pony isn’t under the tree. Unless you tell Santa otherwise, the answer is gonna be yes.
However you celebrate the holidays, the Paramount Staff and I wish you good health and joy.

That’s funny — and tough when you’re caught off guard. I took my three-year-old to see Santa last night and he gave a completely new list of things I’d never heard of before. Of course Santa nodded and said yes to everything — as any good Santa worth his salt would do.
Looks like Mom’s doing the last-minute Christmas dash this year.
