Keep Westword Free
We’re aiming to raise $20,000 by April 26. Your support ensures Westword can continue watching out for you and our community. No paywall. Always accessible. Daily online and weekly in print.
The Job, as posted online: Santa Claus
Qualifications: You must look the part and have a jovial personality to thrill the kids.
Responsibilities: Being Santa Fri, Sat & Sun evenings from 12/4 through 12/20 and the 21st, 22nd & 23rd in downtown Denver. Costume furnished.
Pay: N/A, but a contract is required
What it doesn’t say: You will be coughed on, peed on and cried on. Children will be afraid of you; parents will hope you’re not a perv. Elves are not real elves. No one asks Santa what HE wants for Christmas. You will not actually be provided a list of who is naughty and who is nice. You will not be able to return to South Pole on December 26. Red is not your color.
