I don't know just why, but my hair stands on end with the Santa thing. I'll have to let up and smile! Went to the barber today and had him trim the beard a bit along with the haircut. Wife is happy with it.
Which is exactly why I said what I did. I have been called Santa before and didn't even pause before saying Ho Ho Ho. I always liked Christmas time and all of its trappings, everything except the commercialization of it. We usually have a couple of get togethers, some good food, and a fun time. No pressure and no going overboard. Oh and I've been known to string a few lights on things.
I like the family get togethers. The gift thing gets can get out of hand. I will need to practice my smile and the ho ho thing. Best to flow with it.
I tried growing a beard a month ago....I looked like a....well I don't know what...but it wasn't good. Cross between a meth tweeker and a Amish 14 year old is probably the best description.
My barber said to let the hair grow and not trim it for a month. Then try to shape it to what you want. I am having him do that part. I'm no barber and don't pretend to be! So far so good.
