What does Santa Claus actually do the rest of the year?

At least, the "Mrs. Claus"es in my Dad's Playboy magazines' December issues.

On a favorite Bayou in South Louisiana. Incognito of course. You Oughta hear Boo-Dro and Tee bado discuss incognito. Santa said it was a job requirement to maintain his jolly bod.

When my family and friends found out I collected Santa figurines, they gave me all kinds.

Sorry you don't like them.
