The first of the last.

Hello,

Well, as the title says, today is the last Friday I am in Harrisburg, PA this year. This is also the start of 10-12 hour days until Christmas Eve. Oh the joy!

Today we had 195 photos of Santa with his public. We only had a couple of dogs which included two Shelties, a Black Lab, a Tasha, and a Yellow Collie.

We are expecting heavy snow tonight and Saturday. Up to 12 inches before its over. So there's two schools of thought, we will be slammed with kids, or we will be dead as can be. I the "Talent" expect to be slammed!

There was a bunch of excited kids today, maybe its the upcoming snow storm but it was really fun to see a bunch of happy kids. When I mean happy, I mean they were jumping, skipping, running, squeeling, giggling, and just plain shaking as they come up to see Santa.

I did tick off a mom today (and I'm okay with that). She was trying to put her crying, shaking-in-fear child in my lap. While the child is wailing in fear, I looked around and saw other parents in line taking pictures and laughing. I felt so sorry for him. I looked at the boy, his tears, and the look in his eyes almost broke my heart. I had to tell the mom to take her child back, and she looked at me and said, "Santa's kind of grumpy!" If you want grumpy, go see the Mall Santa! I was just feeling bad for the child when nobody else was.

I will attempt to post some photos on tomorrow's blog. Today I forgot my camera at the hotel.

Sweet dreams,


Santa
