Germany is looking for:
Cheerful, chubby men, preferably with fluffy white beards and no criminal record, ready to work hard for one month.
Germany is running out of qualified men to be temporary Santa’s and needs to recruit and train them fast.
Germans are trying to shut out the financial crisis by taking comfort in traditional festivities, and there is an acute shortage of Santas to entertain children at shopping centers, Christmas markets and private parties.
Applicants must be child-friendly, good organizers, reliable and have acting skills. They also need a clean police record.
