Christmas 2008 - Where's Santa?

2008 Christmas Season is upon us. Where is Santa and what is he up to?
Saturday Morning he appeared at the Golden Glaze Donut Shop on East William Street, In Decatur, Illinois.


His youngest visitors were 6 weeks old.
He was there from 8:30 to 10:15 a.m. And there must have been 100 kids who came in to have breakfast with Santa. Sit on his lap, take pictures and get a small gift. This year the boys got hot wheels and the girls got lip balm.


Before Santa was allowed to leave, they wanted a photo of their workers with Santa.



After leaving the donut shop he appeared at Moundford Terrace Apartment Complex. There were not as many kids, but the ones who did show up had a wonderful time.


Santa was having a very good heart to heart talk with this little boy.



To the oldest person who got to sit on Santa's lap that day. It was a very enjoyable day.

Yep, I got to sit on Santa's lap. Should I uses this photo for next year's Christmas Cards?
There are those who ask "where is your Mrs. Clause outfit?" I had looked for one, but they wanted well over $100 for one and I wasn't sure I wanted to spend that much money for only wearing it such a short time.
I do believe Santa has about 4 more private duties this year and of course has to visit everybody's house on Christmas Eve.
Hope there are a lot of Santa's helpers out there this year. And that everybody has a wonderful "Merry Christmas".

Oh, what fun for the two of you! I think you should keep looking for a Mrs. Claus outfit! Just think of all the children that Santa made happy on his visits! Bless your heart, Bud! And yours , too Verna. Merry Christmas.

I think you should just make your Mrs. Clause outfit. You could whip it out in a day I'm sure with your mad sewing skills. I do like that picture of you and dad, so maybe that should be your Christmas card sometime.
