I was a Santa Claus at the mall, I had no idea what I was in for with the moms

IT’S just 25 days until Christmas and little ones across the country will be writing their lists to Santa.

And what better way to get them in the party spirit than by taking it to see the big man himself?

The North Pole may be a long journey, but across the country you’ll find the next best thing: Santas shopping center.

While it may seem healthy to take the little ones to visit the man in red, a former Santa Claus has revealed it could be far from that.

Via Reddit, the anonymous actor revealed the rather surprising side of playing St. Nick.

He captioned his post: “I was a mall Santa and I bet you never knew this.

“Apparently certain women (usually fairly nondescript office types in their 30s) have a real, full-blown fetish for the man in the red suit.

“On average, once a night someone would sit on my lap and whisper the filthiest, x-rated description of what she was going to do to me.”

Explaining how he handled the situation, the man added: ‘All the time I listened, tried not to get too interested and finally responded with the loudest ‘HO HO HO!’ I could muster.”

Fellow Redditors were fascinated by the revelation and eager to know more.

One skeptical commenter asked, “Are you completely sure they’re not just making fun of you because they know you can’t do anything?”

Replying to ‘Santa’ he wrote: “Very possible. Mall Santas find themselves in a strange situation. You rely completely on the people around you to run the show.

“One time some kids threw some sticky worms from the third floor of the mall, which got stuck in my hat and beard. I couldn’t help it.”

Another wanted to know if he had ever taken any of the women up on their offer.

“No. It took twenty minutes to put on or take off that suit,” he replied.

Asked if he had ever said anything when spoken to, he added: “I don’t think that was part of the game.

“I had to sit and listen to ‘what they wanted for Christmas’.

“They were empowered and that was cool. The exaggerated belly laugh was the best reaction, I think.”
