Wareham Week’s Lydia Goerner asked Santa Claus a few questions when he visited Wareham this week. Claus stood outside Eastern Bank on several afternoons this December, waving to passersby with his jingle bells and getting the town in the Christmas spirit with that twinkle in his eye.

WW: How old are you?

SC: I’m 300 years old.

WW: What do you most enjoy about standing on Main Street this season?

SC: I just love seeing everyone’s smiles… we’ve had a wonderful response and lots of drive-by Snapchats.

WW: Do you have a smartphone, and what is your favorite app?

SC: Santa’s sleigh is Android operated. My favorite app is Facebook because it keeps me in line with who’s naughty and nice.

WW: Have the kids in Wareham been well-behaved this year?

SC: It’s been 50/50.

WW: Will that kid be getting coal in his stocking?

SC: No, coal is too expensive. The bad children get yarn and needles to make scarves for the good kids.

WW: Is Donald Trump on the naughty or nice list?

SC: He’s on the naughty list for sure.

WW: Who is someone on the naughty list that would surprise me?

SC: Mrs. Claus.

WW: If someone is on the naughty list but still wants some nice presents this year, what can they do to increase their chances of being moved to the nice list?

SC: Stay positive and listen to your parents.

WW: What are the most popular gifts for this year?

SC: Dolls and little monkey fingerling things, all the kids are asking for those.

WW: People usually leave you cookies on Christmas Eve. What is your favorite type of cookie, and what other snack do you like to find in people’s homes?

SC: Sugar cookies, or leave me pizza.

WW: What’s your favorite thing about Wareham at this time of the year?

SC: You never know if there will be snow or not. It’s always a surprise. It’s all about the Christmas wishes and who believes the most.

WW: Finally, what is the true meaning of Christmas in three words?

SC: Giving, believing and caring for others. Just caring, since it’s supposed to be three words.
