What does Santa wear to Photo Shoots

Well it is that time of year again where I am besieged with requests for Holiday shirts but my number one customer that stands out this year is probably good old Santa Claus. Seems there is a movement among professional photographers who are doing Christmas photos for families to have their photos taken on the beach with a Santa who wears red velvet pants and a red Hawaiian shirt.
I was first notified of this in a most unusual way. I used to put my home address on my Hawaiian shirt website accepting exchanges until I was visited at 8pm by someone who had a photo shoot to do with a family and he was supposed to play the role of Santa.

Now I am a careful person and when I saw this huge guy knocking at my door at 8pm I roused my own big guy from his recliner and told him to go see what was the matter…. He opened the door and our visitor started the conversation by saying “Please help me I need a red Hawaiian shirt tonight”! 

Personally I thought he was drinking just a little too much alcoholic egg nog but my husband thought him funny so he invited him to follow us to the Wave Shoppe Hawaiian Shirt store in Downtown Escondido and we would help him find just the right shirt for his red velvet pants……..

So… Santa followed us to our store and he chose a beautiful red shirt for his photo shoot so I bagged the red Hawaiian shirt with orchids and sent him on his merry way and we heard him exclaiming as he drove out of sight that Wave Shoppe has the best customer service this night.
