Those who celebrate Christmas remember the joy of sitting on Santa’s knee in a shopping mall during Christmas holiday. Every year, thousands of men around the world are hired to be someone’s Santa for the season. Some veteran Santas with extensive CVs hired by shopping malls in the US can earn as much as $15,000 per season. Most Santa companies recruit Santas very carefully and will almost always ask what Christmas means to you. If you truly love giving gifts to others, spreading Christmas cheer, are good with small children and can smile for long periods of time, a Santa Claus job may be for you! Also, having a natural beard (dyed white or gray) is often a huge plus as well.

If you think you match the requirements but you’d like to polish your skills, there are several schools for Santa Claus’s that will provide you with appropriate training:

The Charles W. Howard (CWH) Santa Claus School in Midland, USA is a non-profit organization, established in 1937 and is the longest continuously running Santa Claus School in the world. The mission of the school is to provide students with the necessary resources that allow them to further define and improve their individual presentations of Santa Claus.
