This is December. Schools, churches and amusement parks will soon be in search of people that will wear Santa outfits and dance zanku to entertain the children. Nobody has to know it is you.

Look at all the wigs you have. You cannot possibly wear all of them during Christmas, can you? Why not rent them out for a token. Better money will enter your pockets, walahi.

Why not offer to fill that vacuum? For a decent price, you go home with them, dazzle the parents and get your money. And if everything works out well, you might even find true love.
