Retired family court judge graduates from Santa school

Bruce Noble attended the C.W. Howard Santa Claus School to polish his skills as one of Santa's helpers

His wife, Marilyn Noble, who laughingly refers to herself as "the Insubordinate Claus," said when her husband recently retired as a family court judge, she noticed he was "fidgety" and "not adapting easily to retirement."

"We went out for a drive one day," she said. "And he said to me out of the blue, 'I'd like to go to Santa school.' So I said, 'Great idea.' And I looked it up on my phone, and I found him the Harvard of Santa schools."

Bruce has been one of Santa's helpers for more than 40 years — dressing up and visiting schools and nursing homes during the holiday season. Even though he already had a lot of experience, he wanted to improve.

At the Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School in Midland, Mich., he was part of a class of 240 who all shared that Christmas wish.

                                          As one of Santa's helpers, Bruce Noble is offering virtual visits with children this season.        (Submitted by Marilyn Noble)

"It is for people who have realized that they have a calling for this," Bruce said of Santa school. "And this is a way for them to learn to do better what they're already doing."

The three-day program included learning how to answer the difficult questions children ask, how to pilot a sleigh, and the best type of material for your red coat (it's wool and cashmere, not velvet).

Bruce said nearly all of the students at Santa school, like him, have been playing Santa for decades.

First time he played Santa 'was magic'

Bruce's first opportunity to play Santa came more than 40 years ago, when the janitor at a neighbourhood school, who always dressed up on the last day of classes before the Christmas holiday, was sick.

"So they said, 'Would you come to be Santa Claus? We've got the uniform.'"

He put on the sweater, flannel pyjama bottoms and beard the school had, and walked into an auditorium full of elementary school students.

"The kids were just wild," he said. "I did my first and, I thought, pretty good interpretation of Santa Claus and the place exploded."

From then on Bruce knew that being one of Santa's helpers was something he wanted to continue doing.

"It was magic. And I didn't get a chance to do a whole lot except say hello to everybody and pass out candy canes as they were on their way out. But that was enough for me. It was wonderful."

Bruce Noble has a naughty and nice list written in Elfish, and a key ring with a spot for his car key, since Santa suits don't have pockets. He explains to children that one key is for the reindeer stables, while the other is for their front door in case Santa can't get down the chimney. (Vanessa Blanch/CBC)

The men and women he met at Santa school came from all different walks of life, he said, but they all shared the same sentiment about playing the role of St. Nick for a few weeks every year: "I like this. I like what happens to me when I'm doing this."

Tips and tricks for playing the perfect Santa

At Santa school Bruce got a long list of "pointers" for perfecting the fine art of playing such an important role. There was voice coaching and tips on how to groom your wig and beard. The three-day course also included a lengthy session during which the most experienced Santas shared tips for handling the trickiest of questions from children.

 Marilyn Noble, who refers to herself as the 'Insubordinate Claus,' says her husband Bruce left for Santa school reluctantly retired, and he returned as Santa. (Vanessa Blanch/CBC)

"They want to know what reindeer eat, they want to know how you get from one place to another in a sleigh," Bruce said,  offering examples of the questions Santas must be prepared for.

However, Bruce said they also discussed some of the more delicate questions children ask.

"There's no cookie cutter answer when somebody says, 'Santa, can you make my parents stop fighting … or the other one, 'Santa — my Grampie died. Can you make him come home for Christmas?'"  

"You can't have a pat answer," Bruce said. "But it's obviously very nice to have the benefit of 240 other people who say, 'I remember when I had that question.'"

The Santa school classes also included hands-on training in how to pilot a replica, mechanical sleigh.

Bruce shares a video of his own session where he can be heard calling out enthusiastically to the mechanical reindeer, "To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall — now dash away dash away dash away all," as his classmates erupt into applause.

'When he got off the plane, he was Santa'

The Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School has been operating since 1937, and Bruce feels lucky that he was accepted to the ivy league of Santa schools.

Many of those he met attend every year, or every few years — in an effort to be the very best Santa they can in their corner of the world.

Bruce Noble has been helping Santa for more than 40 years. He says visiting children leading up to Christmas is a calling for many who want to share the holiday spirit. (Submitted by Marilyn Noble)

Bruce has been offering virtual visits from the Fredericton Public Library, which he describes as "so much fun," although he invoked the "privacy of the sleigh" when asked for details about what they talked about.

          
He errs who thinks Santa comes in through the chimney. He enters through the heart.
- Charles W. Howard, 1937

He did reveal that he is given some information about the children he meets that is as unique as they are.

Details such as, "She likes mysteries, monkey bars and learning French," and, "He loves Elmo, bears and the moon," which helps Bruce connect with even the most skeptical kids.

Notes from parents thank him for his "five star performance" and include comments such as, "That was great!  Both kids literally hugged the phone."

When asked why this job means so much to him, Bruce gets tears in his eyes as he quotes Charles W. Howard, the founder of the Santa School who played Santa on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade float from 1948 to 1965.

"He errs who thinks Santa comes in through the chimney. He enters through the heart."

Marilyn said her husband was always a wonderful Santa Claus, but since his graduation from Santa school, she has seen a transformation.

"When he left, he was a reluctantly retired person," she said. "And when he got off the plane, he was Santa."

A retired family court judge in Fredericton has hung up his robe in favour of a red wool suit with fur trim. Bruce Noble tells us about attending the Harvard of Santa Schools. 12:17

Reply to @Einar Muriph: FYI Anyone can check FHS Year Books to confim
that Judges Barby Baird, my old buddy Brucey Baby and I started High
School together in Fat Fred City in 1967 on Queen St. where the
Justice Building is now located. They were in my Latin Class while
Barby's former political assistant Judge Brad Green was still in
pampers

Methinks Mr Jones and the folks in Fat Fred City should ask their MLA
what the Green Party has done about Higgy's delay N'esy Pas?

Inflation and supply chain issues are due to Trudeau liberal spending policy.

Reply to @Marguerite Deschamps:
The old red/blue uni-party represents the billionaire class the most, imo.

The current inflation and supply chain issues have been directly
linked to federal liberal money printing...at a scale that's never
been seen before.





SarahRose Werner
The increases are so excessive that I can't help but think that the
new owners want all the existing tenants to leave so that they can
renovate the building as "luxury" apartments.

KC Chambers
Whoever the new owner is should be ashamed of themselves, provided we
have the whole story. And the current government should live up to
their intent of bringing in rent controls. What?...are these two
entities living under a rock?
You want to turn out good long term tenants into an environment of a
pandemic, at Christmas , in the cold, with little options right now?
Maybe the new owner should come public and explain why the huge
increase....Come on Higgs, bring
in the rent controls. We don't all live in our own homes. It's disgraceful.

June Arnott
Reply to @KC Chambers: the new owners care only about money. No
empathy with these two disgusting people

Lou Bell
Reply to @KC Chambers: If you read the story , the rent increase is to
take effect in April , NOT at Xmas .

Lou Bell
Reply to @June Arnott: And that's why you'd be unsuccessful as a
businessperson . Opportunity knocks and your door is locked .

Lou Bell
Reply to @June Arnott: Actually , you've described the Liberals and
their " Phonie Games " to a tee !

Craig Zlist
Reply to @Lou Bell: so what you are saying is: all is fair as long as
someone is making a buck! Doesn't matter how many people you
inconvenience or screw over, as long as someone is being a good
businessperson! Good attitude to have in life!

Jackie Barrett
Now we are seeing the consequences of a government being pro-business
as opposed to pro-people like Blaine Higgs and the New Brunswick
Progressive Conservatives.

How selfish can Higgs get in not imposing rent control?

Michael Cain
Reply to @Jackie Barrett: the government is making money off this; Higgs' legacy

Dan Armitage
Reply to @Michael Cain: you still hoping for another investment into
ancon or phony games for your mere enjoyment?

Michael Cain
Reply to @Dan Armitage: prefer a Liberal over a Con any day; at least
they know what an investment is, the returns on the Phonie games would
have made more money for the region and created jobs; ATCON is old
news

Dan Armitage
Reply to @Michael Cain: bahahahahahahaha typical Liberal math not a
con alliance get it right

Reply to @Jackie Barrett: In a nutshell Higgy don't care about poor

Reading the comments below makes me believe that Santa has already
delivered coal to most people in NB. Or at least sour milk. Or maybe
all the comments are coming from the south side of Fredericton!

Reply to @Jim Johnston: I delivered some coal to a wannabe Santa in
Fat Fred City this morning and I suspect he is sipping sour milk with
his supper





Dan Armitage
Higgs said that with more people moving to New Brunswick and driving
up demand for housing, he did not want to see apartment owners take
advantage by steeply raising rents.

But we the government are licking our chops and your tax increases.

Lou Bell
At 5 % the cost of the EXTRA 320,000 paid for the building would be
16,000 dollars annually , or 2285 per apartment ( 190 dollars per
month ) . And that doesn't include the 445,000 . Apartments downtown
are expensive . One bedroom units go for 1000 dollars plus . It
appears the original owner wasn't the greatest businessperson ,
especially since they sold the unit for 445,000 and it was flipped a
month later for 1.7 times that price .

Lou Bell
Reply to @Lou Bell: Or maybe they just had an untrustworthy Real Estate agent .

Michael Cain
Reply to @Lou Bell: or maybe they could flip it again for a million? a
Conservative dream

Cal Sullivan
Reply to @Lou Bell: Or did the 'new' owners flip it to another one of
their companies so that they could mortgage up to rationalize (in
their minds) the rent increase?

Lou Bell
Reply to @Cal Sullivan: Well that would be on the buyers now wouldn't it ?

Lou Bell
Reply to @Michael Cain: That's the Liberal dream ! Check out the
Phonie Games money they pegged for U de M ! Over 3 million !

Michael Cain
Reply to @Lou Bell: what games? it's capitalism at it's finest, Lulu,
a dog eat dog

Robert Brannen
Reply to @Lou Bell: You may feel the person who sold the building was
not a good businessperson. I would say that person could be described
with a word beginning with e; while he who flipped the building a
month after the purchase could be described with a word beginning with
the letters u, n and e.

Remember when a new car was $3000 in 1975 well prices go up regardless
of how old we get. Life’s hard, but harder when your dumb.

Mo Howard
Reply to @Roger Markus-Laundry: When you are devoid of empathy, it's
not called life: it's called psychopathy.

Lou Bell
Reply to @Mo Howard: In that area ONE BEDROOM apartments go for 1000
dollars and more . It is unfortunate , but people should have seen
this coming . It is a prime area in Frederictons downtown and
apartments are in high demand . The 1675 dollars would certainly be in
line with other comparable apartments in the area . A lot of younger
professionals seek units in this area whatwith the walking / biking
trails , bars and restaurants , and being able to walk to work.

Reply to @Roger Markus-Laundry: I was doing fine back then However my
new pickup truck cost a lot more than that in 1975 and my Harley did
too but I could not afford a computer or a cell phone like early
anyone can these days because the prices have gone way down
