Santa Grandpa: 2004
Last night we traveled to do a party for our daughter's boss. Our daughter called us a few times as we were on the way. She was so excited. She met us at another friend's house. This friend was excited to see us also and we spent some time in her house that was decorated so festively that it could have been Mr. and Mrs. Santa's cottage for sure.
Our daugther led us over to her boss's house and then waitied outside in her car while we were in with the family. The four children got a kick out of their mother, as she got to be Rudolph for the song. She was a good sport. She and her husband sat on Santa's knee, as well as the children. After a very fun time we left Our daughter led us back to their new place and went inside. We waited for a short time and then knocked on the door. Our grandchildren answered the door. They seemed to have no problem with us being Grandpa and Grandma too.
One of the highlights of the trip was when a family friend who was about twelve sat on Santa's lap. When asked what he wanted he couldn't think of anything. Finally, he told Santa that he didn't want anything for himself. He just wanted everyone to be happy and to have a Merry Christmas. Every once in awhile you find someone who is really unselfish like that.
We said our good-byes and went to Miner's to eat a hamburger. Their large staff gathered around us. At first there weren't many customers, but a basketball game got out at the high school and there were many who came for a hamburger. At one point, Santa was in the bathroom longer than I was and I was feeling awkward. Remember I am not the extrovert in this family. It is one thing doing this with him around and quite another doing it on my own. I was glad when he returned with all of his magic. It was a fun evening.
