SANTA....

Okay, where to begin? My kids ask me today, "Why haven't we gone to see Santa yet and tell him what we want for Christmas". Of course, we have not had the time to do so was my answer! So, we all loaded up and headed up to a little mall near where we live...never any crowds or lines to see Santa...hhmmm...wonder why!?!? On our way we were laughing about the fact that last year, same place we were heading, Santa kept passing out while the kids were trying to tell him what they wanted...literally passing out!!! Well, we walk up to Santa's station and lo and behold, guess what?? Same Santa, passed out, sound asleep passed out and didn't know we were standing there, and the Elf no where to be found.... Finally the "Elf" walked up after Santa tells us he went to refill his soda...Must to the kids surprise it was not a cute little girl with a green hat and tights---this elf was wearing a do rag and G Unit hat on and had more bling than P. Diddy! Quite comical! The kids are afraid to go up to Santa whose head is bobbing up and down and Joe & I are laughing and just can't belive it! Fianlly, after confusing G Unit about getting a picture, our sweet little friend Mikayla (who went along with us) finally went up to Santa for her picture. After sitting there for at least 5 minutes while Mr. G tried to take a picture, I finally just took one with my own camera...and at this point Santa had STILL not asked her what she wanted for Xmas or said one word to her! All the while, Mr. G Unit had given up on the picture of I was going to pay 20 bucks for and was on his cell phone chatting....It was just so comical! Santa didn't even say one word until like five minutes after the kids were done and we were talking to some family we ran into and Santa busts out with a hearty "Ho-Ho-Ho"! So freakin' bizarre! Even Joshy didn't want anything to do with him!
