How to Use a Bag of Toys in a Santa Costume

Video Transcript

"Hello! My name is Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you today how to do a traditional Santa Claus costume as well as some edgy alternatives. Although we've completed our Santa Claus costume, there are several accessories which you can use to basically add to. Imbue your Santa Claus costume with even more Christmas spirit. The first of these is by having a toy bag. These are really, really great. They're the same color of Santa's trousers over here. It's a situation where this is something you're going to be lugging around all night long. Ho ho ho Merry Christmas and handing out gifts. You can actually have a lot of fun with this, especially with friends, your friends. You can say oh gee, I'm sorry Jimmy. You were bad. You get an old 1960s beach cap. Or gee Louise, you know Cindy. You get political biography from the next president of the United States of America. You can basically do a lot of fun things with your bag of toys. My one suggestion though is you do not make the bag too heavy, because that's not going to actually help you carry it throughout the evening. Your bag should be about maybe no more than 20 pounds. What you're going to do is you're going to be slinging it. Usually there will be a little bit of cinch here. You’re going to be grabbing it from right around the red so you're not putting too much strain on the string, which could always rip. There you go. It's nice and slung over your back here, and you're ready to hand out lots of fun presents to good people and maybe some pieces of coal to the bad ones."
