It looks like I am going to get a job at a local garden centre as Father Christmas (OK ... Santa, to all you ex-pats who live in the States!). Now Father Christmas (or Santa) is a bit scarey but there is something between scarey and kind which all the best Santas are.
What ideas do you have? As a kid, what scared you and what would have made FC/Santa seem sort of OK? If you have been a Santa/FC, what advice would you have for a newbie?

Well, my son was scared of Santa up until he was about 3 years old, I don't know what it was exactly, but I suppose it's because we tell our children 'don't ever talk to strangers', and what do we do near Christmas? We take them to see 'Santa', who's a complete stranger to them. The Santa that I used to love going to see (I sometimes went with my Nanna and Grandad), was at our local toy shop (that's been turned into a Weatherspoons now though), anyway, I liked him, because he had smiling eyes and he was kind and friendly, do you know what? I think he really was THE Santa!

I think most young children are afraid of Santa atleast during the first few years. Not much you can do.

don't touch. if the child wants to just stand there, fine.. leave him/her alone.
