did the kids ask for a rolex for xmas ?

BuffaloRolex · 22 December 2007, 01:39 PM

That's gotta be a fun gig. Great job, Bill!

Great stuff Bill, I mean Santa. That must be quite a treat to actually be Santa Claus to the little ones. Merry Christmas.

It really was lots of fun. Their eyes were so big when looking at me and several wanted to pull my beard to see if it was real. A special time indeed. No, not a one asked for a Rolex! ;~) Merry Christmas! Bill

Thanks Bill for being a part of those children's Christmas.

If I come out, sit on your lap, and ask for a Rolex, think I might get lucky? And just so we're clear, by "get lucky" I mean get a Rolex!

Bill, mighty nice of you to play a part in those kids' Christmas. Very generous of you to volunteer your time and your beard, you're a good man sir.

May you and your family have a blessed Christmas!

If that's your natural beard, you're a dead ringer for Santa!

gaopa · 23 December 2007, 04:47 AM

Yep, that is my beard, JJ.... HOWEVER, two hrs. after the Santa gig I went to the barber for a nice haircut and beard trim. I normally keep it neat and trimmed, but let it grow knowing I was going to be Santa. Thanks for the kind words from so many of you.

I am now an old man, but still think Christmas is a magic time of the year.... can't wait until my grandchildren are here on Christmas day. Ho Ho Ho to each one! Bill P.

Very nice indeed. It is so special to see children smile. That was a very nobal thing you did.

Merry Christmas to you and everyone as well

What do you mean Santa is not real? :)

You look good in the suit and nice of you to share with the youngsters!

Thanks, guys.... it was lots of fun! Now that Santa has gone back to the North Pole, this Santa got a nice beard trim! ;~) Happy New Year! Bill P.
