We Run into Santa on a Streetcorner...

We went downtown last night to look at all the lights and mingle with the big holiday crowd. We had never gotten around to taking the kids to see Santa at one of the malls/stores, which we were feeling a little bad about. But we've been very busy, and it's so expensive, etc., so it wasn't looking like it was going to happen this year.
So we were extremely pleased when we stumbled upon Santa all by himself sitting in a walker/chair on a streetcorner downtown (with a donation bucket and a hand-written sign that said "Picture with Santa").
We stopped to say hello, but, alas, we had not brought our camera with us. That was no problem for Old Saint Nick, though--he had a polaroid camera ready for just such an emergency! So with Daddy acting as camera man, we were able to finally get our photo with Santa and tell him what we wanted for Christmas. And all at a very low rate, too!
