How to look like Santa and more!

Hello my name is Santa and I am an alcoholic.
Santa wears a Kringle Red suit with a Arctic White trim with a matching stalking cap. He also is know to have a white beer'd and wig. Santa wears big black boots specifically designed for trampling on the holiday spirit. The full suit is designed to withstand the elements including puke, fire (not guaranteed), police batons, kicks to the crotch, and spilt alcoholic beverages.

Documented example of a Cheap Santa Suit. Notice the subsitution of boots for Converse All Stars which increased Santa's vertical leap by four feet.

Santa Suits are available in all shapes and sizes with endless varation. Below you can select your suit depending on how poor you are or how much you support sweatshop manufacturing. Just go and get it, Santa has already done all the work for you.

Okay here is what you need:
Red Pants and Jacket ($2-$10 at your local Thrift Store)
Hat and Beard ($2-$5 each) (Drug Stores, Retail, and BBC)
High Black Socks (Santa doesn't need to tell you where to get socks)
Old Black Shoes or Boots (to walk all over)
X-mas Tree Skirt (wear it like a scarf / cape!)
Wearing the skirt is key to not looking like you are poor / cheap / uncaring / lazy / an asshole.
Basically you can get all of these for less than $30, not too shabby, leaving Santa with plenty of change for beer. You can also duct tape or staple on white garland or cotton balls as well.

Whether Santa avoided taxes or sells crack on the side. He is going to look good for this non denominational holiday season. Ho Ho Ho!

Staight from Chinese Sweat shops - $40 + Shipping

The Santarchy and SantaCon sites have their own lists.
The original Cheap Suit Santa guide.

Let's just say Santa has his "Ho's" in order. This Santa hits the streets in Velour and keeps his pimp hand strong.

These guys spam my site, Costumes for Santa
Buffalo Breath also has expensive suits (don't rent em!)
Party Stores may also have a narrow selection of suits.

Any mascot or halloween costume with a santa hat and/or tree skirt is fine. Santa's also get along with Santo, the Easter Bunny, Mrs. Clause, Elves, Reindeer, and really naughty Santa's. Santa does not like chickens.
Zombies in ugly Christmas Sweaters may also be present.

Santa's may also accessorize with sacks of toys, oversized x-mas decorations, bells, megaphones, burnt x-mas trees, inflatable reindeer, boomboxes, pinesol and windex bottles, pitchforks (the plastic ones) because Satan is just a mispelt Santa.
