You remember when we were kids and Santa was always gentle, patient and CALM!??
We had our Christmas lunch at the Senior Center, where I volunteer. Last year Santa must have been a little under the weather, because today he was back to his old self.
2 years ago he FORCED me to sit on his lap and have my picture taken!
Today in the back of my mind, I thought; "He won't bother you Doug, your just the help!" Thinking POSITIVE can be dangerous!
When he got done having all the Seniors sit on his lap for pictures, he ran around scaring the old ladies, with HIS version of Santa, HO! HO! HO!HOOOO!
He relishes his ONE day of the year, when he can go nuts and get away with it!
He was on his way out the door, when he spotted ME and another helper. I knew I was dead!
I wouldn't sit on his lap, so he hugged me, I hugged back and the lady took our picture. I decided to yuck it up by closing my eyes during the photo and pretended that I was in HEAVEN!
I'm glad I don't have a CHIMNEY!
Doug
