Land of a Thousand Santas

I don't think I have seen as many Santas in one season as I have this year. My boys have literally seen Santa Claus six to seven times. We even saw two just today.

We saw one on the train ride today. He was pretty cool. He didn't look great, but his attitude was awesome. He had a lot of kids to hold walking up and down the aisles. We went to an outlet called Rocky's Outfitters, when we stepped off the train, which was a typical hunter's paradise. As soon as we entered the second room, lo and behold!!!! Santa Claus. Yes, they took another picture with him and even got their grandma to buy it. They didn't really pick up on the fact that his beard and mustache were styled slightly different.

Caden did notice the other day when we went to see Marysville's Santa, downtown. He asked why Santa looked different than he saw before. We had to play that one off cleverly. He looked more authentic and was the most jolly and warm. It was almost like a picture when we saw a little girl go before us and run up to him and give him a big hug. My boys weren't shy, either, and told him exactly what they wanted this year without stutter or stammer. I would like to go see him again just because he looked and acted like the "real" Santa.

And one more thing... If you are one of those people who think Santa saying "HO, HO, HO" is offensive to women and he should go on a diet... Piss off and quit ruining it for the rest of us! We like Santa how he was, is, and always will be. Fat and jolly!!!
