Dorian: We have a sorta modest Yule party. It's usually about a week er' two before the holiday, partly because most of us have our own family Yule get together's planned, but also we like to have the part goin' while were doin' the whole Santa Claws bit fer underprivileged and orphaned pups. O'course, the whole Santa Claws thang is generally done durin' the earlier part of the day, so we have the pups and lambs cleared out by the time we're havin' the official party.
As fer 'volenteerin', well as I may o' mentioned durin' that whole ask a few weeks back that we have a system in place in terms of pickin' Santa's fer the year. Generally we just draw straws, and whoever pulls the short one gets the job, with the second shortest draw net's y'all the position of Santa's helper. It's not much more complicated than that, other than y'all get immunity fer next year's draw if y'all pull the short straw the previous year. And seein' as how I played Santa this year, that mean's I ain't gotta do it next year.
I mean, I'll be honest, I love seein' pup's and lamb's gleeful smiles when they meet me. But I really don't care all that much fer how often I get...er...marked by accident. Let's just say the cleanin' bill on the station's set of Santa costumes is real, real pricey.
