Thank you, Santa

Well, this is the second year in a row that Cael's parents have sought out Santa on Christmas Eve to take their son to sit on the jolly old one's lap and get the annual picture. (What happened to that teacher Suzanne who was so well-planned and organized and would have had this task completed by early December? I, for one, would like to find her again.)

Needless to say, the neglectful parents have lucked out twice now by finding St. Nick the very day he is delivering his gifts around the world. This year, the man in red was at Basha's in Taylor, complete with an elf and Mrs. Claus. No line and no cost for pictures made this a great visit (Also, flour and Jalapeno Cheetos were on sale).

Santa was definitely not an imposter, with a real beard and a bowl-full-of-jelly belly. When he asked Cael what he wanted, Cael told him thank you for the snow he had already brought to him. Santa asked what else Cael wanted, but "sow" was it.
