First, let it be said: This is exactly what is looks like in the pictures...a big belly!  When my Santa put it under his lovely Santa suit, it looked like he had drunk a case of beer a day, beginning 365 days ago.  We were sorry we had chosen that padding, but the shipping back cost more than the belly, so we kept it.  My Santa does theatre, so maybe it will be just right for one of the up-coming shows this season.
