I always wondered where the whole red suit, jolly, rosy cheeks, and white beard came from. Who ‘invented’ the looks for Santa Claus and when?

My mom’s boyfriend dresses up like Santa Claus every year and passes out gifts to all the kids in the family. His suit is all complete. I’d like to have my daughter (age 4) to give him (Santa) a gift that he could incorporate into his suit. Like maybe a Rudolf button or some other flair. Any ideas?

Satirical animated TV show "South Park" beeped out the words Prophet Muhammad and plastered its Wednesday episode with the word "CENSORED" after being issued a grim warning by a U.S. Muslim group.

The irreverent comedy show on Comedy Central also substituted a controversial image seen last week of the Prophet Muhammad in a bear outfit with one of Santa Claus in the same costume

Santa Claus is The Ancient of Days (GOD) the red suit HE wears (red) is symbolic for goodness. Blah, blah, blah. So where does Coca-cola fit into all of this?

We go to my cousins..
In Eid, on the first day my dad and brother go to the mosque and pray, meanwhile me and my sisters help my mum clean up the house and decorate it abit until my dad and brother comes home; when they come home we go out and buy gifts then we go to a few of our relatives homes for half an hour each then we go to my aunts and stay for dinner and watch tv, and enjoy there till late at night. then on the second day we go round to the remaining peoples homes and eat lots and lots of traditional sweets. On the third day we stay at home until the evening then we go to a hall where everyone comes and we have a big party!
..My traditional costume is a kind of dress, with wide trousers they are both covered with mirror and lots of sequences.
..For new year this time we didnt do much my cousins came round and we watched lots of TV.
…. throughout the year my favourite day has been
..It has a longer holiday there, and people get their presents after us, and they believe that the three kings bring the presents instead of Santa Claus; I personally think England has a more fun christmas though!
Thanks in advance

miss said it doesnt have to necessarily be true

Just yesterday, I stood in line for hours at Macy’s waiting to meet Santa Claus. I had a giant cauldron of figgy pudding with me to snack on..it tasted SOOOO good, I couldn’t stop wolfing down the sensual, rasiny, moist figgy pudding! I kept rehearsing my long list of everything I wanted for Christmas. I even had "peace on Earth" thrown in for good measure. Finally, I got up to the front of the line. Santa’s elf helper said to me, "Hey! You can’t take that giant cauldron
in with you!", so I left it at the door.
But when I walked in and sat on Santa’s lap, and he asked me the one question I hoped he wouldn’t …….
"Have You Been a good boy this year, ALL year?"…I was SO nervous that I ROLFED up the figgy pudding, spraying Santa,his helper, the photographer, and a fake reindeer with liquified rasiny projectile figgy pudding vomit! Santa jumped up and shouted "Keee-riste!" sending me sprawling to the floor, my Dickens costume awash in the slippery pudding

…..chick flick?..

I have bought a small 1 fl. oz bottle of Mehron(r) hair paint from my local costume shop.
I plan to use this on Christmas day, as Santa Claus. %My natural hair is pitch black, so I will need to apply A LOT of this hair paint and I will need to also add the (Hollywood Professional(r) spray-on hair paint I also bought.

Should this 1 oz. bottle be ENOUGH to cover my black beard to last all day long, Christmas day?
The bottle mentions using either a brush or makeup sponge. – How should I use either of these in my long /straight / dry beard (See my image in my profile. – My beard is much longer – now!)

Rather than have to buy a cosmetology SPONGE, could I use a latex painting PAD that I can get from my local Lowe’s hardware store?

1]A father asked his son, Little Johnny, if he knew about the birds and the bees.
`I don’t want to know!’ Little Johnny said, exploding and bursting into tears.
Confused, his father asked Little Johnny what was wrong.
`Oh Pop,’ Johnny sobbed, `for me there was no Santa Claus at age six, no Easter Bunny at seven, and no Tooth Fairy at eight. And if you’re telling me now that grownups don’t really have sex, I’ve got nothing left to believe in!’.

2]All eyes turned to stare as a gorgeous redhead walked into the costume party stark naked. The alarmed host rushed to intercept her.
Where’s your costume?, he hissed through clenched teeth.
This is it, she calmly explained, I came as Adam.
Adam?, her host exploded, You don’t even have a dick!
I just got here, Jeremy, she replied. Give me a few minutes.

3]Woman: So, how’s it going with the ladies?
Man: Women to me are sex objects.
Woman: Really?
Man: Sure. Whenever I mention sex, they object

I had to look up this phobia to find the name for it. I’ve had this fear myself since childhood, and I know I’m not alone. I think it’s also related to the fear of things like clowns, Santa Claus, Easter Bunny and mascot-type costumes, all of which used to creep me out. Some still do. But why are these things scary?

When I was a kid (70′s-80′s) it was Thanksgiving before the stores started to carry Christman stuff. My mom liked to put our tree up ON turkey day and had to use leftovers bought after the holidays each year. I was at the mall tonight and the Christmas stuff is already out and carols were playing. It’s 80 degrees outside and Halloween isn’t even over. If I had to buy a costume tonight, I’d have to go as Santa Claus.

What’s the deal?
To answer y’all’s questions: I live in Austin, Texas. It’s patently silly to sell ANYTHING having to do with winter until December.

And my mom’s tree was fake…still is.

I’ve been invited to a halloween wedding, and I’m a pretty fat guy, so I’m wondering what costumes would work well for a fat person, Im thinking Elvis, Ursula (The Little Mermaid), Santa Claus etc, any other suggestions for costumes that make the most of my size?

For Papa: Happiest was winning a Halloween costume contest dressed as Santa Claus in an outfit my mother had made me. She even made a costume for my dog, that said ‘Rudolph’ with a head piece of small antlers.

Saddest: At 8 years old when the ambulance came and took her away. Somehow I knew I wasn’t going to see her again.
