When I was a child I WAS A TRUE BELIEVER! Wow, did I love Santa. I loved Christmas, being with my family, and the thought of Santa. I also loved "believing" when I knew it was just a story made up to make Children smile. My parents told me Santa wasn't real, but told me not to tell my borther. I took this very seriously, and loved helping my brother believe in the magic of the Man in the Red Suit. To me believing in Santa was a part of Christmas, not all of Christmas. It made it magical and it made Christmas morning exciting.
Taking Max to visit Santa was really fun. I don't know what came over me, but I started tearing up as I handed him to the man in the Red Cap.
Max didn't cry - he did smile a few times.
Merry Christmas Santa! I hope Max has fond memories of you.
Really nice Santa at the Mall. Real beard too.
