Wow, what an amazing place! I would have loved that as a kid. But the PRICE??!! :blink: Ouch! Imagine if you had 3 or 4 kids?

We want to see Santa pics please!

I WISH my son would sit on Santa's knee, but he never did want to. :( I would try to bribe him and everything and it was always a no go.

I told him he'd have to sit on Santa's knee this year to let Santa know he'll be in Canada, and his response: "I am pretty sure Santa will know where I am, if he's watching me all year, he'll know I'm in Canada, they have that kind of technology up there mom"

:lol: I have no response to that argument.

It doesn't really surprise me though, this coming from a kid who HATES Disney World.

I've known a few kids that were like this. :lol: Now that I'm older, and my own kids are adults, I sometimes think....

How crazy is it that we encourage kids to sit on Santa's knee! He's a stranger, dressed in red, that laughs all the time! Kinda scary if you ask me!

I remember a few Santa's from my childhood. *shiver* Many had booze on their breath! :lol:

Here's a hilarious link.

Yea pretty much sums up Ethan. He never cried but the two times I got him to sit on his lap, first time he was just a baby and no say but the picture screamed discomfort. The second time he was 5 and he got off of Santas lap and yelled: "Okay mom give me the ten dollars! I did it!" I was sooo embarrassed :lol:

:lol: It's because he's too smart.

I only remember sitting on Santas knee once at my dad's work christmas party. I wish I could find the picture, but I know I had stained lips from drinking orange crush :lol:

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard

:star: 28 days until Christmas :star:

On Monday I will send the Christmas cards in the mail.

Are they in the mail? lol

I WISH my son would sit on Santa's knee, but he never did want to. :( I would try to bribe him and everything and it was always a no go.

I remember the year my brother's friend, Clayton, (who does not have a checks-and-balances filter between his brain and his mouth, which makes for some very hilarious situations. :lol: ) was hired on as Santa Claus at the local mall. As I was walking past the "North Pole" one day, I hear Clayton-as-Santa yell out to me from his throne "Come and sit on Santa's lap, little girl. Heh heh heh." :devil:

Clayton wasn't hired on again as Santa, but we did have him come over on Christmas day to give the kids their presents. OMG, we howled. Especially when my son asked him if he would like some milk and cookies and Clayton said "If Santa has anymore milk and cookies he's gonna hurl." We convinced my son that after all that hard work, what Santa really needed was a beer. And lots of it. :lol:

My dad has distinctive white hair, white mustache and wears glasses. For as long as I've been alive, My dads played Santa almost EVERY single year at either his work christmas party, our community christmas party, and any other party he could fit into his schedule. His good friend once dressed up in green tights and an elf costume, and they got on a John Deere Trailer and drove around the Complex with presents for all the kids! (The parents bought and submitted it) He still has the costume and puts it on every year for my nieces and nephew. My mom would get into it and play Mrs Claus sometimes also. Thankfully, there being 5 of us kids, we were rarely forced to play the elves for the party. I'm gonna go look for pictures now! hhehe
