Do child therapists commonly mimic Santa Claus?

Max asked:


I feel a bit ridiculous asking this question.

I have on more than one occasion come across middle-aged shrinks with great white beards, merry laughs, and thick girths, and noted this to be peculiar.

A friend of mine proposed that this was a trick used in order to ease interactions with children, by associating themselves with Santa Claus.

Is there merit to this theory, or is it just a weird coincidence on my part? Has anyone else come across Santa-mimicry among child therapists?

I’m all for celebrating Christmas, but this is pure commercialism.
I don’t shop for Christmas until after Thanksgiving, but any store I enter to buy food, clothing, whatever, has Christmas decorations hanging everywhere. And this is America, I can gripe anytime I wish.

Is this an aww-dorable outfit for a Christmas party?
