Was there a raise for Santa’s helper? I was one of two butlers hired for the office Xmas party of an insurance company. Our job, as butlers, was to dress in our mini aprons, add a bit of fun for the girls by showing our bare bums and to serve the drinks and canapés. The party guests were primarily women but there were a few men, who mostly gave us a wide berth. The plan was that, after a couple of hours of drinking and chatting, we butlers were to pop on elves hats and assist Santa by giving out presents to everyone. But, as the appointed time got closer it was clear that Santa wasn’t coming and the guests began to look very disappointed. I said, we’ll I’m happy to be the Santa if you’ve got a costume for me. Well, that brought an instant round of applause and I was the hero of the piece; at least with the ladies. There was no santa outfit available, but one girl donated her santa’s hat and another draped tinsel around my neck. So, there I sat, in my apron and new adornments with happy ladies sitting on my lap whispering in my ear what they’d really like for Xmas. Unbeknown to them, I wear only an apron; nothing on other than that. As they each sat, in turn, on my lap, I seriously hoped I wouldn’t embarrass myself as these gorgeous ladies wriggled around!
