My late Father was always in demand at Christmas to be Santa and he loved doing it. Down at the local primary School he made his Santa (or Santie in the Buchan area) appearance every year and all the kids sat on his knee and it was lovely to see their faces.
I remember one year he went to the school and sat in front of the class as each child came up for their present.
At that time he had a Santa suit and always put the pants on over his own trousers as they were quite big. When it was time to leave he stood up and waved goodbye and his pants fell down. What a laugh all us grown ups got. After the party one five year old came up to me and in a very serious voice said " Mrs Harvey, did you see that Santie's Pants fell down?" This incident was laughed and talked about for years it was just innocence fun. I think the P.C. Police would not view it that way now.
