Courtesy of Jim Manning When you're in a seat as hot as Santa's chair, you really need to know how to keep a frosty air.Kids really do say the darndest things, especially when they're excited.
And when you've been playing Santa Claus for more than a decade, you hear it all.
So we asked Jim Manning, a full-time children's entertainer who's played Santa Jim in Boston for the past 14 years, to shed some light on the most awkward things kids say at Christmas and how he responds.
Feel free to take some notes for your own curious Santa fans.
