A funny look at how Santa recruits are turned into a real Santa Claus just in time for Christmas. Seeing how Santa recruits of all shapes and sizes are turned into a real Santa Claus should bring a laugh to anyone that has had the pleasure of attending boot camp. There’s nothing quite like being yelled at by a drill instructor first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Being Santa isn’t easy but for the few that make it through training, they can be proud to be called Santa Claus.
