Yes, it is old Santa and I have missed blogging with you the last few days. Sorry for that, but I have been busy and just got caught up on my duties.
The last few days have been both fun and frustrating for old St. Nick. I think the days are getting shorter and my lists are getting longer!
I need to do a shout out to Mrs. Claus for keeping the home fire burning and watching over the Elves while Santa is away. I know it is hard and she does things I should be doing, but we talk every day and use Skype when we can. I remember the days before all this fancy stuff was invented and wonder how we did it. So thanks to Mrs.Claus for all she does!
After today we have only 20 days left before the big day! I can hardly wait.
Today we must have set a record for the number of kiddos who asked the Dude in the Red Suit what I wanted for Christmas! That's easy! To make it home and have some of Mrs. Claus' home cooking.
Today the question was asked whether a person can bring someone with a disability to see Santa. Those of you who know Santa at all know how crazy that question is! Santa excepts EVERYBODY. So tomorrow the person who asked is going to bring her disabled brother to see Santa for the first time in 30 years to see Santa. I almost wanted to cry when I heard that.
Another strange question we are getting is how much do we charge to allow people to see Santa if they do not want a picture? This has happened at least 3 times in the last 2 days! And the answer is, "It is always free to chat, talk, and sit with Santa!
Here's a few pictures I want to share with you of Santa and some of today's visitors:
This girl was my first visitor of the day. What a little sweetie!
This girl would look to the sky, tap her chin with her finger while thinking of what to ask for, then say, "ipod." Then she would do it all over again, and say, "ipad." Then again, "iphone." Every time, the gift became more and more expensive! It was really funny!
This little girl is really afraid of Santa. Mom and dad would like her to take a picture with Santa, but the closest she would get is to give Santa a "High Five." So, Santa decided to walk around a little bit. As soon as I got out of the chair, the little girl made a dive for it. Her dad said, "Are you getting in Santa's chair?" (I didn't care...whatever works!) After awhile, I walked by and she squealed and ran away. But, if I didn't make eye contact with her, she would stay in the chair. A while later, they family went home saying that they are going to come back later this week to "Try it again." We'll see what happens!
These girls were the last ones I was able to chat with today. They are great fans!
I hope I got everyone caught up. Please feel free to comment or ask questions in the comment section, and I'll answer them as quickly as I can.
Sweet dreams,
Santa
