T minus 30 day's til Home !

Hi there,

Yes, it's true. Thirty days from now Santa, the Big Guy, the "Talent", or if you prefer, "The Claus" will be back at the North Pole.

Now back to reality. Today we had 123 little darlings and one dog. It was a Cockapoo -a high bred cross between a Poodle and Cocker Spaniel. Not the cutest dog I've ever seen.

What a difference a day makes. No really! Yesterday just about everybody was a grump, but today people we happy, laughing, and looking forward to the Holidays.

The real boss at BPS is Jim's Administrative Assistant Deb. She made an off-the-cuff comment about Jimmy O staying with me for Thanksgiving. Well I could not let that go. So I started sharing about Jimmy O and the "Talent" sharing a double bed in NY last year. (Now you need to know that Jimmy is a BIG dude, but a teddy bear, and I slept on the couch.) So Jimmy O, Jim Wargo and myself went on and on about that because it was hilarious! And it still is! Between all of us we could hardly talk because of laughing so hard. What a way to start the day! So what's really happening is that Jimmy is staying at the same hotel as I am because of working late for Black Friday and being in no shape to drive home.

The kids were very cute today and a couple of girls came up just giggling to see Santa with there horrified brother. I cannot not let two giggling little girls go by without a memorable thought of Santa, so I started to mess with the girls and was caught off guard because they have other brothers and they get messed with by their siblings. So when I moved my hand in front of their faces, they grabbed my hand in less than a second! They had vice grips for hands and there was no way I could get away. That was very funny and even the elves thought it was just dessert for Santa. Santa had almost met his match...

The picture above is of the hotel staff in elf hats. They surprised me as I headed out for Santa duty today... Kind of cool.

Keep Santa in your prayers, it is a long stretch starting tomorrow - 5 long days in a row.

Night,

Santa
