Happy First Thursday in December.

Hello to all,


Well, let's start with a Santa "Get Well" shout out to Mr. Santa Claus, the "Talent", the Dude in the Red Suit. Yep, I'm talking about me. The big Guy is sick...but is still showing up for duty! Santa has an infection in his throat. It is not contagious. It hurts and it will get worse, but there's really nothing they can do for it. I could lose my voice (but I can still type). We'll have to wait and see. Otherwise, I am a perfect Dude. (We will not take into account my throat or back...)

Okay, now on to what you really want to see. We had 130 little gems come through the Big Chair. We also had a couple of dogs - a Beagle (Snoopy dog) and a Black Austrian Yapper. It kind of looks like a Pomeranian, but very black.


No one kid stands out for me tonight. We had a lot of couples and family photos. I always find it funny that the skinniest person tells me they are soooo heavy and that they don't want to break my legs. One person must have weighed a whole 100 pounds, but I - the Claus - made it through. We had a group of 5 senior high/college-age boys, a family of five, and a family of nine. I think the funnest was a high school group (one female with three males). Let me tell you! She ran those boys. I could tell the boys did not want to do it, but they came. Ohhh, the power of the female persuasion!


Well, Santa needs his beautiful sleep,



Santa
