sodomy conviction
Too bad if you see something creepy in the question or the username, but I am a member of The Amalgamated Order of Real Bearded Santas and the "cops looking through a window" is exactly the situation in this case. Remember it was the 60's in the lovely red-neck state of Georgia. The locale of the Harwick case.
Further, for the ones of you who make judgement, it is not I who encourages your children to sit on the lap of some strange looking old man with a long white beard, it is you.... And I get paid handsomely for it. And then you tell your children not to talk to strangers! What could be more confusing to a child than a man in a red suit with fur trim meeting children in a mall, and then being told that isn't a strange man, that is Santa. Christ, the children are lined up by their parents and told to behave and wear your best attire. A little confusing for the little darlings, wouldn't you say?
And as for the comment "EWWWWW", you would be amazed at how many people have Santa fetishes. I have been molested by women and men at many Corporate Xmas parties, and propositioned by more people than I can count at parties, in malls, at bars, even while I am walking down the street. (Of course usually the proposition is qualified with I must wear the Santa suit. Heck, I am often asked if I have a santa suit at the start of the conversation.
I can sit in any bar and within 5 minutes someone is talking to me and within about 15 minutes, someone (about equally divided, men to women) will have hit on me. So by "Ewwww", I suspect it is your thoughts that you are "Ewwwing about". But as I said, don't worry, your thoughts are pretty normal that you have a Santa-fastasy, based on my life experience.
