Xmas Eve guidelines on how to spot a fake Santa
Campaign For Real Santas
24th December
The Campaign for Real Santas, which campaigns for Santas to have genuine organic or knitted beards, has said that Christmas Eve is the peak time for Santas who do not have genuine beards and hence fail the real Santa test.
The Campaign has issued special Xmas Eve guidelines so that if Santa is spotted it is easy to tell if they are genuine or an imposter.
HOW TO SPOT A GENUINE SANTA
1 Tug the beard of the Santa. If it comes away, then the Santa is FAKE
2 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 gruffness and a real organic beard, particularly when delivering presents on Xmas Eve
CFRS organiser Keith Flett said, we know that most Santas with absurd false beards are genuinely trying to help and only a fairly small minority are drunk. However it is important to maintain a key part of the Christmas story, namely that Santa has a real beard. We would urge people to check tonight if they do spot Santa.
