Santa's Helper 2004

Yesterday was my annual day as Santa's helper. I think we made twelve stops this year--three senior citizens and nine with kids. The kids were the cutest ever.

This little girl talked to Santa non-stop in her own special language.


All of the families were very happy and thanked Santa for coming to see the kids. This year we a had a couple of parents who were laid off because their employer shut down and moved out of the country, we had one family with two kids and the mother had a stroke after the birth of the second, a couple of kids with health problems, and the senior citizens were so happy to see us. The one lady even asked me to change the filter in her furnace (which was in the kitchen) for her.



The only thing that I didn't like was being away from the baby for that long.
