Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Yes, just 2 weeks after Halloween, Santa makes his debut at the mall. This is our 3rd year awaiting his arrival, and each year is different. This year, I had to laugh. It was definitely not what you'd expect from Santa. Here are the kids waiting. They passed out glow sticks to each kid.Jaggar passed on that and opted for his own toy.
HEEERREE he comes!
Yep, there's St. Nick...on a HARLEY. YEEAH! Guess Rudolph just isn't cutting it these days.

Is he cool or what? I think Travis asked him for his bike for Christmas.

And he makes his way towards his "throne" for a throng of anxious children waiting to pour out their Christmas wishes weeks before Thanksgiving. In spite of that, I still get teary each time I see him for the first time that year knowing that so many kids, including my own, truly believe.
