What did I do Now!

Welcome back!

I did not forget yesterday's blog, I was just too plain tired out. So I am going to combine my thoughts for both days here. Santa is so smart!

Okay, let me refraise that. I am smart, but get a load of this. Santa's mind went out for breakfast and forgot to tell me to pick it back up. Today was a normal Saturday for the most part - I woke up earlier than normal, had my driver get up early, and off to the mall we went.  

At the mall and unlocked my changing area and got dressed and ready to greet my fans. I looked at my Santa watch and saw I was almost late to get to my big chair, so off I went (without my escorts) and when I entered the main part of the mall I noticed the Santa set was not ready. So I stopped and asked a Security guard, "What's up?" He said, "Ummm Santa, you're an hour early. The set opens at 11am not 10am."  Oops, Santa missed the mark on that one!








Here some of my fans that came to see me today!

This brother and sister were really a joy to talk to! And Santa made them laugh and laugh!

I don't know who enjoyed it more - Santa, these siblings, or their parents!!

I wish we would have gotten a picture of this, but it was just too busy. Yes, I said it was busy today! Yeah!! I saw an 8-year old boy who had severe cerebral palsy with no muscle control in his arms or legs. His parents asked if Santa would be willing to hold him/cradle him like an infant. The dad warned me that he would be heavy. I said, "Fine, no problem." The parents picked him up out of his wheelchair and place him in my lap. I didn't have any problems holding him, and then his 4-year old sister climbed into my lap too and they had their picture taken together with me. The parents were just thrilled! I was thrilling for me, too, to bring joy to the family - even if it was only for a few minutes.

This can be filed under, "The Odd One of the Day." A mom with two children (a 3-year old and an infant) wanted to know if I was willing to take a picture of her two children together. However, the infant was sleeping in her car seat and the mom didn't want her to wake up. Soooo, the mom wanted to know if I would hold the entire car seat with the infant inside on one knee and the other child on my other knee! Even tho this was quite challenging for Ol' Saint Nick, let it be known that Santa is very accommodating and flexible!

My Elves on the Shelf are starting to report in, so I need to sign off for the evening.

Have a good night's sleep!
