Portraits of Russia: Vladimir, Santa Claus

I am a very perky Santa Claus. According to pedagogical standards, Santa Claus should speak for children for 15 minutes, but I can’t stop for two hours. I love when they love me. I often hear about cases how some Santa Claus got drunk there and at the 10th address I began to confuse my mother with the Snow Maiden. This is not about me.

About incidents

Casuses are also not in my garden. There are, of course, cases. For example, on one Christmas tree, I played two roles at once: in the first part I was Barmaley, and in the second - Santa Claus. For the Barmaleya outfit, I even asked for the father -in -law of green boots. In general, between the first and second part I changed clothes in a hurry and forgot to put on felt boots. And so I went on stage: in a suit of Santa Claus and swamp boots. There was a roar from the hall: "Barmaley ate Santa Claus." Or they somehow pulled me a tooth, and I inserted a chewing gum for a while. And then the beard hit his mouth and stuck there and I could not speak. Or I give the boy a box of sweets, and he for me: "I have diathesis." Anything can happen, but it is impossible to confuse me, I will always find how to get out.

I can build a TV from two chairs, and out of four - a steam locomotive. I even return my parents to childhood - they are always flirting with me and, instead of children, they shout answers to riddles. To be Santa Claus is fun - I can approach an elderly person and call him a granddaughter.

About altruism

I don't stand at the price. It is important for me that someone needs me. Those who need Santa Claus most often do not have money. Somehow I came to school, and they say to me: "Children handed over the entire waste paper to pay for you." Someone will not go in less than 15 thousand, and I will always go. The wife curses: "Will you wash your boots for a long time?"

About modern children and the most grateful spectators

I began to work Santa Claus in 1986, when my daughter was born. Have the children have changed since then? They seem less naive, but this is only a raid, it is easy to remove. So I come to the Christmas tree, and there the children's children read and say: "You are not Santa Claus." Well, as if advanced. And I - once, make a magical snowball with my hands, and they already believe in me.

The most grateful viewers are orphanages. I once went as a physical school for the New Year's shift to the pioneer camp. My responsibilities included organizing sports contests, filling the skating rink and speaking to Santa Claus. And there we had one detachment entirely of the orphanages. Well, on New Year's Eve, when I was Santa Claus, they stuck me - five took up my right hand, five - for the left. And so they followed me all night. And then this happened. The next day I flooded the rink. In order not to wet the clock, put them in a pocket of the quilted jacket. Then he went to the dining room, hung the quilted jacket in the locker room. After lunch, I did not find a clock in my pocket. The orphanages have their own specifics - pocket theft for them - this is completely normal. I then told them to the counselor: "Get your detachment and declare to them that Fizruk is Santa Claus." The next day, the clock returned to me.

About his wife

The wife, of course, is jealous. She sees how I suddenly take possession of the attention of the whole hall: children, their parents, women. And she is offended. It happens that I will stay for 30 minutes, and my wife meets with criticism on the threshold: "Again you boasted." But I already understood for a long time - denial leads only to inflating the conflict, so I reply: "Yes, I was delayed. Because I am a good Santa Claus."

About popular recognition

In addition to the fact that I am Santa Claus, I am also a children's writer. He wrote 40 thousand poems, 300 children's books. I am Vladimir Borisov - the most speaker writer of Russia. This is I am the author of the "puzzles-obstacles", which are used by all grandfathers of frosts. Recently I was on a Christmas tree, and there Santa Claus made my riddles. They went to the people. I went to the people. You do not always need a folk title to be folk. That's how Vysotsky.
