Seeing Santa

This morning Santa visited our church. The men's club had donuts and drinks set up for all to enjoy while waiting his arrival.



At first Sparkle said that she wasn't sure what to say to Santa. I suggested that she ask for many blessings and whatever else he thought would be good. She was also a bit nervous about answering the "have you been a good girl" question. We told her to tell the truth, and Wander suggested she say that she had tried to be as good as she possibly could. However, once in Santa's lap, Sparkle's trepidation disappeared and she ended up with a long wish list for Santa. I wonder how she will take the disappointment on Christmas morning.


Glitter didn't want to approach Santa at all. With a bit of prompting I got her to tell Santa that she lost the purse he gave her last year and she'd like another one. Glitter didn't want to stand by Santa for a picture either, but I pointed out to her that it was rude to refuse to stand by Santa after just having asked him for a gift.
