A FRIENDLY SANTA CLAUS

Pictures:
1. Santa walks in through the front door
2. Santa is greeted by Michaela – the others look on
3. Santa distributes presents
4. Santa gets a big kiss from Michaela
5. Santa poses for a photo with the children
6. Santa has a surprise present for Christine, too – three boxes of Lindt Chocolate (her favourite).

And this Santa was me, haha. I’m not skinny but the fat tummy is the effect of having a cushion tied to my waist.

We had a great time after Christmas Eve Mass. Everybody knew who Santa was except Max, my grandson. At one time Christine was going to give me up by calling me by name but Max didn’t hear.

BTW Max, too, noticed the red nose and wanted to touch it. He asked for Rudolph – probably because of the red nose - but I told him I had to leave Rudolph at home because he was sick.

All the shots were taken by JP with my camera.

Thank you so much for looking and for the lovely comments on yesterday’s picture. We have guests coming over this evening. Not sure if I will have time to comment on all your pictures.
