Jolly Saint Torgodevil

It looks like my dignity will not be spared as I will be forced into a Santa costume to hand out small novelty gifts to terrified children in my school at the Christmas party tomorrow. It's better than the alternative, which is having one of the other teachers dress up like Santa and donning a truly frightening giant Santa Head (popup) to scar the children for life.

I'll be handing out assorted toys to the children and will have to rely on the Korean teachers to act as my "Helper Elves". I foresee one of two things happening. Either I scare the children and the Korean teachers have to keep them from running away, or I get trampled once they see that I have toys to give out.

Oddly enough, the last Santa related thing I ever did in the States was watch "Silent Night, Deadly Night" which is about an Axe murdering serial killer dressed like Santa on Christmas. Maybe that explains my growling at the only child I happened to see while in the costume after he didn't react to my "Ho Ho Ho!". Maybe it was just because he is Russian. What does Santa do in Russia?
