Santa Claus is Coming to...Taipei

Since we're on the subject of being forced to wear embarssing clothing...

Shortly after my elementary class this morning, I got another call from Jay, my line manager. He called to tell me that, next Monday, my cover stint will involve dressing up as Santa Claus for an hour and handing out gifts to the kids.

Wow...something I have really, really, really never wanted to do! I half-suspect I was volunteered for this because of my more-than-ample girth, which only makes it worse. What I'm wondering is, how hot are those outfits, anyway? Particularly in Taiwan, where it isn't exactly 2 below and snowing this time of year.

This also brings to mind a really bad Geena Davis movie I saw a few years back, where the Geena character, very pregnant, had to wear a Santa outfit with a short skirt and get up and dance at an office holiday party. As I remember it, her water broke right in the middle of the number. Man...what was that movie called again?

Somebody get me somebody who can explain why my mind works this way.
