Ho Ho Ho

On Wednesday me, Jo and my son Oscar went into town to visit Santa and yes, another photo opportunity...


Santa's enthusiasm was as usual zealous and full of ho-ho-ho's.  Oscar was a little shy at first with this new experience.  Who is this stranger with a long flowing beard bearing gifts?  And why is he saying ho-ho-ho all the time?  But he quickly warmed to his kindess and happily told Santa that all he wanted for Christmas was a car.

The one and striking characteristic I noticed about Santa was that, this year, unlike ones before, he looked skinnier.  Ageless, but skinnier.  You see, even Santa isn't immune to the economic downturn.  Even the omnipresent has to be thrifty sometimes.  Oh Santa, we need that belly back.
