Now I like kids...little kids. Usually little kids go by my stall and don't even notice it. The other day I noticed the odd little kid gave me a wave and smile. I wondered about this. Then a mother was talking to me and the toddler was in the shopping cart. This little kid was really giving me the big smile. Then I heard her say "nanta". Oops ! I got it.
These poor little kids were going by me and thinking that I was Santa Claus! Wow! I didn't think I looked that old!
I guess the white beard did it for these little guys. I wonder what they would have done if I had my red fleece on?
So this is my Christmas Eve story.
Have a wonderful Christmas.
It's more than the beard; it's your friendly face that's drawing them. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYep, I like little kids.
DeleteWhat a delightful story. Happy Christmas to you.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I hope you had a great christmas. I know your Christmas is over by now.
DeleteMerry Christmas, Santa! You do have a resemblance to the other Red One, Red. Merry Christmas to you and yours! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks. well, some little kids thought they recognized something.
DeleteSuch a nice story. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of the things where I could say, "It could only happen to me."
DeleteMerry Christmas
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam. I hope you had a good one.
DeleteAwww....that's a cute story. You do kind of look like the jolly elf! Merry Christmas to you!
ReplyDeleteIt's my age that does it.
DeleteHa! A white beard = Santa if you are a little one. Merry Christmas to you!
ReplyDeleteWell, some poor little kids had fun!
DeleteMerry Christmas Red!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteHi Red, That's pretty neat those little kids thinking you were Santa! Next year how about you get the full costume and be the Official Mall Santa? :-) Merry Christmas to you and the Micromanager!
ReplyDeleteWell, I think I'll skip the real sana bit. I have a friend who does the Santa thing.
DeleteYou would make a good Santa. Hope you have had a Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteYou should dress in red Red!! Happy Christmas! :)
ReplyDeleteYou make a GREAT Santa. Enjoy that doppleganger effect all season long.
ReplyDeleteIt may be my memory but I don't recall ever seeing you with a beard before. The old photo on your blog had yo clean shaven I'm sure. I've had a beard for 45 years and my children have never seen me clean-shaven. Have a very Happy Boxing Day now that you've done your work for this year nanta!
ReplyDeleteI love it, when I saw your beard I wondered if it was to pose with family in costume.I was at a Target to sing and wearing their signature red shirt. I had 2 people ask questions about where products were and got a good giggle.
ReplyDeletePerfect!!! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat story Sir RED Elf - I knew you were connected to the people at the pole :) Happiness Brother.
ReplyDeleteDear Santa,
ReplyDeleteI asked for world peace and an end to human practices that target endangered animals and birds but nothing happened. Now I am not sure that you even exist... but I believe in The Micro Manager.
Love from

You could be a real Father Christmas next year!
ReplyDeleteYes, the beard makes you look the part!
ReplyDeleteYes, you do favor the jolly fella! Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!
