I saw a few folk today that said it all with their eyes....why would I cut my hair this close to Christmas? While not a complete expert on these matters, I am of the opinion that Santas should be well groomed. I do not yet have the long flowing snowy locks, and I refuse to bleach my hair, as some do, so short seems to work well for me, especially when the fur Santa hat comes out. The great thing is that hair grows...lots!
