Never, more money for nice gifts. Though I did at as a four year old I did yell 'He's got a tape recorder in his back' as Keith Harris walked off stage leaving his duck on stage talking.
At a Christmas party at my dad's place of work Santa walked into the great hall and I yelled look everybody its "Frank!" completely blowing his cover. He was an old employee nearing retirement that everyone knew and liked.
There probably isn't much call for them these days as kids have parties in ice rinks, bowling alleys. McDonalds, ETC and with this big scare about paedoes floating around, you'd need to have police and CRB checks before you even consider applying for a job as Father Christmas or one of his elves.
