His Santa work begins in November and, like the real deal, he&apos;s busiest right before Christmas. He&apos;s always the guest of honor at Ogdensburg&apos;s annual Santa Claus parade. For Adams, most of the pleasure comes from giving back — he donates all his Santa earnings to local charities.Todd Moe paid him a visit during a day off, and found the beard, belly and generosity are all genuine.
