Does the trick
Bought this for halloween with some extra Amazon credit Coinstar money., but used it again for xmas. Both were for partying, so I put this biznatch to the test.
Never wore the coat, bought some red suspenders on the side instead and clipped em to the pants. The material is cheap felt, I liked the hat nice (won't exactly keep you warm though), and the beard/wig combo looks good, though of course a bit scratchy, tough to drink with it on, and unless you've got big ears (I don't), you'll need some kind of glasses (or shades!) to keep the beard secure on your face.

Cousin Ted should've thought of all that before he 'decided' not to be in the family gift swap back in '08, AFTER he drew my name.
Because now Cousin Ted has a Santa suit. And the whole family -- including all sorts of squirmy, grabby, squealing little children -- KNOWS that Cousin Ted has a Santa suit. Therefore, Cousin Ted == Santa.
It didn't pay off right away. But so far this December, Ted's played the...
