a special visitor

We had a visit from the jolly big man in red himself this evening :)

The children weren't too sure at first, and a bit stunned, but ended up singing 'Santa wear your shorts' and 'Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer' for him, and discussing what reindeer like to eat. And they were most impressed to be given a couple of small things from the lists they wrote last week.

Santa promised he'd be back later tonight (because he was saving some presents as a surprise for tomorrow), and they waved him off down the driveway, very impressed with the personal visit. As the X-man said "It was the really real Santa! Not the one you can pull his beard off!".

We have some very special friends :)

Hoping the big man comes to visit you tonight too, and that Christmas Day finds you surrounded by love and laughter!
