FATHER CHRISTMAS

The four stages in life are:
1. You believe in Father Christmas
2. You don’t believe in Father Christmas
3. You dress as Father Christmas
4. You look like Father Christmas

The other day I said I am in the third stage and here I am. This is me dressed like Father Christmas for Christmas 2014. I put a cushion around my waist to look fatter. What do you think?

Jean-Pierre (my son) took this shot.

Riddle: What do you call people who are afraid of Santa Claus?
Answer: CLAUStrophobic.

Thank you very much for looking and for the lovely comments and the fav’s on yesterday’s picture.

You make a very credible Santa. Great portrait of a man at stage 3 (or is it stage 4 ??)
