COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Fall is right around the corner, and Santa is on the fast track, spending the weekend in Colorado Springs prepping for Christmas.

More than 40 Santas with natural white beards and bellies full of cookies are preparing for a busy winter.

They spent the day talking about how to deal with wet diapers, crying babies, and angry parents.

They even practiced taking pictures and playing reindeer games.

With the economy and so many natural disasters happening over past few months Santa is needed more than usual.

"Children get a little frightened, and they're not exactly sure what's going on. We want to let them know that there's somethings normal that they can count on in their life," Santa Claus said.

Included in Saturday's group was the White House Santa and Bubba Claus, who helps all the boys and girls living in the South.

We were also curious how FOX21 stood with Santa, and he told us we are on the good list.
