It's About Time, Santa: 2004

Last night we took a night off to go to our church Christmas party. We enjoyed being with our church family so much last year that we wanted to celebrate Christmas with them again this year. I had to really talk Mick into "dressing down" to go. He finally settled on regular Sunday pants, a white shirt over a red shirt, with the sleeves rolled up and a bright Christmas Tie. I guess when the virus has you it has you good. As we visited with our dear friends, one little four-year- old girl finally got her wish to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what she wanted for Christmas. Even though he was not officially there as Santa, she was just one of several who came up to him during the evening. This whole last month she has tried so hard every Sunday to tell him what she wanted, but he always told her, "not at church." She was really tickled to finally be able to do it. It's about time, Santa.
