Santa cannot believe how busy it has been so many families coming by for visit's or pictures Santa has time for everyone that comes by Also alot of children coming by for the third or fourth time It is so great to see the kids
Parents and grand parents need to let Santa work his magic with the kids do not repeat what Santa says do not tell the child what to say let the child answer in their own time Santa will find something that gets the child to open up let him do his magic

Wow what a day Santa was very busy Santa learned more about the honesty and innocence of children About mid morning I had this family of two boys one 3 1/2 the other about 6 We where sitting and talking the youngest was very articulate and open he was sitting beside me his brother was sitting on my lap I asked the youngest if he wanted to sit on my lap in a very clear and distinct voice he informed Santa "No Santa I know that if I sat on your lap I would freak out so I will sit beside you" Santa started laughing so hard he almost p'd his pants the Elves on the set where in total laughter as where the youngster's parents The other incident was a bit embarrassing for Santa A lady her little 4 year old daughter and their family dog where all sitting on my lap we had just taken a family picture The mother got off my lap with the dog leaving the little girl and Santa to smile for the camera After a few pictures where taken I leaned over to the girl to ask her what she wanted for Christmas The little girl in a very low voiced informed Santa that he had a booger hanging from his nose after turning thirty shades of red I started discretely getting rid of my booger after numerous swipes at the offending booger I was informed by the little girl that I had totally missed it a few more shades of red Santa went on a search and destroy mission after a few wider and more aggressive swipes I was informed by my makeup specialist that my mission had been successful. In my best non embarrassing low voice I thanked my keeper very profusely She calmly stated no problem Santa . How many adults would sit and tell you that you had a booger and remain around to make sure that you had removed it successfully. Not many I myself have turned away from someone else's misfortune of the hanging booger.

Monday was again a busy long day but with some humor which is normal with kids visiting Santa
In order to get a child to smile the elves behind the camera are always coming up with ideas to capture the perfect smile This little girl was smiling but the elves wanted a bigger wider smile showing teeth This little girl stuck her fingers in the sides of her mouth pulling her mouth to the sides This so shook up Santa and the elves behind the camera they where not quick enough to catch the complete moment

To day was a slow but steady day ending with pet night Had a young man who was 4 years old come in to visit Santa He was all proud he had dressed himself and he had done a great job as you can see in the next photo
He was wearing a black fedora a t shirt with a clip on blue red tie a black vest jeans and cowboy boots He was a most incredible vocal kid that I have talked to I asked him if he had a girlfriend he informed me matter of factually that he had no girlfriend but that he was married I asked him how long he had been married he informed me that he had been married for one hundred years. We went on to other things then I went back to his marriage and when I mentioned to him that he had told me he was four years old earlier and now he had been married for 100 years I asked hime to explain the differences He informed me that his marriage had seemed like a hundred years I said oh I understand and on we went with another tangent of the conversation He was so totally honest sincere and hilarious with a great sense of imagination a future story teller for sure
After a brief break where Santa Skyped to the North pole to check on how the day had gone in the workshop and how the Reindeer where doing Santa was back on the set for pet night We had three canine visitors A large Poddle a medium size Retriever and a small Pappion The first picture was the Poddle
A perfect picture if there ever was one

Day 5 Nov 18 2011
Friday was a training day for the Set staff Santa and the computers printers and camera's A very interesting day to say the least We all became very familiar with each other Santa being at the advantage as he only had to get to know the staff The staff had to get to know Santa and the equipment the hardest part being getting the computer to talk to the printer and the camera talking to the computer Also involved was the cash computer who had to talk to the credit card reader and the wi fi antenna The Set Elves had to use sign language by pushing the right keys and button for everything to communicate Needless to say it was a very interesting day for Santa and the set Elves and everything was finally convinced to work in harmony so it was a great day Going to be a great season
