In past years we’ve used Christmas to look at companies with holiday spirit like WowWee, Coca-Cola, and JAKKS Pacific. Since Christmas fell on a Saturday, we’re going to take a look at an organization that embodies the Christmas spirit. While lots of non-profits do their best work during the holiday season, I wanted to find an organization that is 100% Christmas focused. Luckily, after doing a few searches, I came across The Amalgamated Order of Real Bearded Santas. The organization got its start in 1994 when 10 “Real Bearded Santas” were called in for a tv commercial. During the time between takes they all got to talking, and decided they should get together for lunch. They picked January since it’s right after their busy season, and thus was born The Amalgamated Order of Real Bearded Santas.

Ho! Ho! Ho!

Obviously, The Amalgamated Order of Real Bearded Santas is a very selective organization, so finding an entry level job with them might be a bit unrealistic—especially since most college grads don’t have white beards. But you can never be sure. There’s always a chance of anything when Santa Claus is involved. Now go enjoy time with your family and open presents, the job search can wait until tomorrow. But don’t forget to look at all of the presents under the tree for ideas of companies that might have cool job opportunities.
