Lil brother took a trip to the local mall to chat up the man-in-red. And as luck would have it, lil brother got to hang with THE REAL DEAL. Not one of those faker-mall-Santas who just try to trick kids and get their parents to shell out $32 for a fake photo-op. I mean this Santa was REAL-and we have the picture to prove it. Just swing by our house anytime to check out the picture on the mantle. But in classic lil brother style, there was some pre-Santa drama. Lil brother cannot abide getting his hair "done" or wearing a Christmas sweater. But several threats later and a hostile intervention by Mr B pretty much convinced him of the futility of protest. And of course once lil brother is in line to see the man-in-red he gets nauseous and nervous and sweaty. And I don't blame him. I wouldn't want to explain to the big guy some of his tricks either. But I'm glad to report, that lil brother survived the encounter and successfully dodged another holiday bullet-although he got so nervous that he forgot to give him his wish list. So looks like he'll have to write a Santa letter-which will be another holiday-fight-tradition to report on later.
Merry merry!!!
