This will be someone that embodies the big guy with the white beard year round and who people in your neighbourhood often refer to as Santa.
Obviously, this person will also be the one that is called upon each year to don the red suit to go out and about posing for photos, handing out presents and just be an all-around nice charitable person.
If you know of someone, please leave us a comment with your details and how we can get in touch with your local Santa. COMMENT BELOW!

Although many people were for the idea, some parents felt "blindsided" that they weren't forewarned that Hana Kōkō would be stepping in for Santa Claus. The parade's organisers have since apologised.
So we want to know your view on this topic. Are you in support of modernising Christmas, or do you prefer a traditional Santa? Take part in our poll below!
