Campaigners warn last weekend before Xmas is peak period for Santas with fake beards
The Campaign for Real Santas, which promotes Santas with genuine organic beards, an annual initiative to promote real Santas with genuine beards, has warned that the last shopping weekend before Xmas is a peak period for fake Santas.
The Campaigners say that with unemployment and under-employment amongst mature men over 50, there is absolutely no reason for anyone to use an assistant Santa who does not have a real beard.
At the same time the Campaign is also keen to encourage more female Santas with organic knitted beards.
Campaigners are urging parents and children to vigorously tug the beards of Santas they encounter as a definitive test as to whether they are in the presence of a real Santa or not.
CFRS organiser Keith Flett said, we have reached peak season for bogus bearded Santas and our research suggests they are proliferating. Do not accept a Santa unless they have real beard
THREE STEPS TO SPOT A GENUINE SANTA
1 Tug the beard of the Santa. If lumps of cotton wool come away, then the Santa is FAKE
2 If the beard remains intact tug the beard of the Santa again. If the Santa swears then they are genuine. If they simply repeat a ‘ho ho ho’ mantra they are FAKE
3 The Campaign for Real Santas says that genuine Santas must have just the right mix of bonhomie and grumpiness and a real organic beard.
Notes
The Campaign for Real Santas is organised by the Beard Liberation Front
