The Entertainment Store has offered me a gig as Father Christmas at Harvey Norman. Three hours a day, five weekends a week from the 24th of November. Warned them that depending on how physically hard I found it, I may have to bow out of some shifts, and they are happy to arrange someone to cover for me if that happens. It seems I'm counted as one of their best and they really want to keep me in the game *happy grin*
Interestingly, while I have had other problems appear that are a worry, the last week or so my balance has improved dramatically, which if it continues will make life much easier for the gig.

Going to have to push my fitness regime though, try to build my stamina for the job. And make my elves or the photographer that it's vitally important that I get my breaks. It's not usual to get headachey in the heat of the costume, something I need to be very wary of.

It's actually technical Santa-speak. A 'week' is the time period that they start trotting out the people in the suits. It used to be done only about seven days out from the 25th, but over the years it's moved back further and further until you can have people doing Santa gigs in early November.
But it's still called the week before Chrissy in the trade. My wording was poor because I was tired.
