[SantaClaus]

As many of you already know, my wife and I are planning a move to TV in the next several years. I am a professional Santa here in Raleigh, doing mostly clubhouse events, in-store promotions, civic events (tree lighting, parade) running/manning a set at a local tourist attraction, private parties, in-home visits, and such. I occasionally fill-in for mall Santas, but that is not really my cup of tea. I'm very keen to continue my Santa'ing ways once we get to FL, but I get the sense that opportunities might be much more limited. I'm sure I can book the occasional adult party, or do in-home visits where grandchildren are spending Christmas at TV. And there are always lots of volunteer opportunities. I'm just wondering if you've seen places around TV that have Santa visit, or that could use one? Are there many affluent, family developments within reasonable driving distance? I know this might seem a terribly unseemly question coming from Santa (show me the money) but honestly, being a top-flight Santa Claus is an expensive proposition and for me to continue doing it into our retirement it needs to at least cover it's own expenses. I love doing it, I just want to be able to continue doing it for as long as possible.

Thanks for any help. BTW, there's only 212 days til Christmas!
