I'm currently dressed like Santa while traveling internationally on Christmas Eve. AMA.
So I'm currently waiting to board my flight from Detroit to the Caribbean. I decided to dress in a full Santa suit (no beard) to surprise my parents on Christmas morning. I have a 10 hour layover in Miami and I get in at midnight. So far quite a few women have been approaching me to take my picture. AMA about this adventure.
Update: One of the gate attendants came up to me, smiling, and wanted to know where I was headed. I told her and she said to let her see my ticket. She came back about a minute later and said that she just upgraded me to first class.
Update 2: Five hours to go and I'm chilling at the terminal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1jReUjoU-c. Random woman comes up to me and buys me drinks. I think I chose the most appropriate drink. http://imgur.com/QMroN

jaleel white dressed as santa claus? you're gonna bag some ladies on this trip, my dude.

Ha ha. That's the plan. Apparently the most confident women are the ones who approach me or smile from across the room. And they happen to be quite sexy... I'm trying not to be creepy but I have a few hours and if one of these ladies were to sit on my lap that would make my day.

Would you rather fly with one reindeer sized duck or 100 duck sized reindeer?
SwaggerBoisterously23 karma
Got to go with the reindeer. Santa cannot be Santa without them.

Why no beard? Kinda seems like with no beard you're phoning it in. Not to be rude.

I chickened out since I thought immigration may not allow me to wear it. That and it was quite itchy.

Ha. Nice! I'd watch that shit all day with my homies. Rudolph be straight pimpin' son.

Do you feel like you're helping spread the holiday cheer? Heartwarming examples would be lovely.

Most definitely. Even the TSA were having fun with me. They told me I could even wear the suit through the scanner as long as I put them on the nice list. A little kid just came up and hugged me!

Are you being particularly creepy and asking those women "What can I give you for Christmas this year?"
SwaggerBoisterously44 karma
I just asked this woman if she was nice this year and she said "Santa you already know that I have been naughty but in a nice way".

Fellow trini here. Hope you have sorrel and black cake waiting for you! Enjoy the holiday

You have no idea how much I have missed some callaloo. Pastels and sorrel aside, I haven't been home in so long and the food is one of the biggest things I missed.

I've been a very naughty girl this year. Do I still get coal or does Black Santa give something else? ;)

When you eat a banana do you move your mouth to the banana or the banana to your mouth?

This has to be the best way to spend a 10 hour layover! How else would you have it?

7 hours to go and I just got a serenade from the people at the airport bar! Great times! Definitely worth it.

I actually had bacon popcorn. Quite tasty! I'm up for tasting baconnaise though. There is never a bad choice for bacon. Unless it's no bacon.

There are some fucking idiots around here.
I think this is great, one of the best AMA's I've seen.
Merry Christmas to you sir, have a good one!

I don't mean to be racist, but have any kids been aw-struck because you're black?
SwaggerBoisterously9 karma
Actually not at all. I don't think little kids interpret race the same way adults do. They see Santa and immediately their eyes light up. It's incredible.
SwaggerBoisterously7 karma
Oh sorry. I'm not from Detroit. I'm a researcher at UofM in Ann Arbor.
SwaggerBoisterously24 karma
And..... Naughty list for you. Just kidding. Happy holidays and Merry Christmas to you.
