Unless Mrs. Claus bought santa an industrial strength supply of Gillette Mach Threes for christmas, it's safe to say that santa will always sport his long, white facial hair. Like ZZ Top wouldn't be quite the same without the beards, neither would santa Claus without his flowing whiskers that shine like a fresh coat of fallen winter snow.
If you're going incognito as Jolly Ol' St. Nick this christmas at either the mall, a christmas pageant, or making a surprise visit to adoring children, don't disappoint without a quality santa Claus beard to complete your look. Your belly may shake like a bowl full of jelly, but a good beard adds the finishing touch to an authentic santa look.
Crafted of lush, synthetic white hair, gently curled for a realistic effect, many santa Claus beards also come with a matching wig to help you pull of a convincing facsimile of everyone's favorite toy-slinging elf. Several versions feature a cloth backing on the beard/mustache to allow you to wear it more comfortably. Most hook on over the ears with elastic bands, eliminating the use of messy spirit gum.
