In this classroom,laughing is encouraged. In :fact,learning a hearty ho-io-hi cAwcA:/e (fe 笑) is;required. Best Santas,a program in Denver,teaches men and women to become the best Mr. and Mrs. i Clauses possible. “We teach our Santas that being Santa is so much more than putting on a red suit and making sure your beard is white/' Jim Coleman,the owner of Best Santas,said. “Their focus must be on serving children and sharing the magic of Christmas — happiness."
Coleman started the school after receiving professional Santa training in Canada. Wanting to spread the cheer,he founded ^est Santas and shared his ideas with a fresh new team of hopeful Santas. aWe wanted to teach Santas how to do things differently than they,re usually done/' -Coleman said. “In so many cases you’ 11 find Santas who sit on their chair,half asleep. That's no fun and most certainly not magical!We knew there had to be a better way."
After program participants complete a full background check,the schooling begins. The Denver Clau? course includes CT?rá加i c?r?/s (圣诞颂歌) and jingles,developing a perfect,hearty chuckle aná learning cookie recipes. ^SanHa must learn how to walk,gesture,control his body language,project his voice,and read the crowd. Above all,he can engage the crowd immediately with his bigger-than-life presence and delighted ho-ho-ho!” Coleman said.
Once the characterization is complete,and graduates receive their Bachelor of Santa diploma (-^ 业证书) ，the Santas will be sent out on various special events including holiday parties. They are booked at a rate of $195 per hour. Some Santas are even coupled with assistants that help with face painting and balloon art.
“There is just something so completely magical about Santa Claus,” Coleman said. “And it's not just for the children. Adults light up at the site of Santa just as much as the children do. I think it reminds them of those warm memories of their childhood."
