Welcome Back to this Fabulous Time of Year with Santa and the Children!

The requests have started!

The most popular items right out of the starting gate for BOYS include (and I quote):

• Gy-nor-mous dump trucks, bulldozers and fire trucks
• remote control cars and helicopters
• Lego sets
• Batman and Spiderman Action figures

For the GIRLS it's:

• Elsa castle
• Elsa doll
• Elsa ice skates
• Elsa dress up clothes
• any other things Elsa!

Hmmm, I wonder what Barbie's doing these days?

Yesterday - my first day - was a steady line of children for the whole day. It was really fun to hear their giggles and see their big smiles.

Today was more family groups that came to visit. The very last group of the day was 16 mall security people who had their picture taken together. Very fun!

Mrs. Claus is a big hit with the families and the kids again this year! Too bad she is not working every day until near the end of the season.

The winner for coming the longest distance to see me today, was one of the families pictured above who live in Jamaica!

A Santa shout out to Yuasa Japan. Yes, it is very cold here. The temperature overnight tonight will be -14 degrees Fahrenheit (-25 degrees Celsius). Brrrrrr!

Warm Santa Thoughts!
