Santa code of ethics

No Swearing in front of children
Santa does not swear as this would set a bad example to all the young ones around the world. Ho-Ho-Ho is acceptable, but P**s off d**k head is not. The only exception is if your beard or hat is pulled, you are then well within your right to use the second phrase.
Santa is always on time
Santa always has the presents delivered to all the households around the world on time. Make sure you are not the last Santa to leave each pub.
Santa loves a drink
How do you think you are to ensure your nose and cheeks stay rosy and red. Any Santa not wishing to drink will have to wear a bit of blush to fit in.
Santa is not a nudist
You must wear your Santa suit for the entirety of the pub crawl. There are are two exceptions; the Santa pants down race, or if you meet the right Miss or Mr Santa then you are welcome to remove your fleecy robes, in private!
Santa does not fight
If any Santa is harassed then a loud Ho Ho Ho or Hey Hey Hey is all that is required, no physical violence is necessary. Santa does not need to bust his/her gut for these disbelieving sods. They will get their comeuppance when they open their Christmas presents.

Any other pub specific rules will be announced on the night.

Thank you

Thank you to all the Santas from previous years who have helped raise money for the new learning centre at Rainbow House
