I work as Santa in a shopping centre but I had no idea what I was in for… the mums said the filthiest things
IT’S just 25 days until Christmas and little ones up and down the country will be writing their lists to Santa.
And what better way to get them in the festive spirit than by taking him to see the big man himself?
The North Pole might be a bit of a trek, up and down the country you’ll find the next best thing, shopping centre Santas.
While taking the little ones to visit the man in red might seem wholesome, one former Father Christmas has revealed it can be far from it.
Taking to Reddit the anonymous actor revealed the rather surprising side of playing St Nick.
Captioning his post, he wrote: “I was a shopping mall Santa and I’ll bet you never knew this.
“Apparently, certain women (they would typically be fairly non-descript, 30-something office types) have a real, full-on fetish for the man in the red suit.
“On average, once per night one 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: “Invariably I would listen, try not to get too interested, then eventually respond with the loudest ‘HO HO HO!’ I could muster.”
Fellow Redditors were fascinated by the revelation, and were eager to know more.
One skeptical commenter asked: “Are you completely certain they aren’t just messing with you because they know you can’t do anything?”
Replying ‘Santa’, wrote: “Very possibly. Mall Santas are in a weird situation. You completely rely on those around you to run the show.
“One time some kids threw some gummy worms from the mall’s third floor that got stuck in my hat and beard. There was nothing I could do about it.”
Another wanted to know whether he had ever taken any of the women up on their offers.
“Nope. That suit took like twenty minutes to get in or out of,” he replied.
Asked whether he had ever said anything back when he was accosted, he added: “I don’t think that was part of the game.
