Today was the Ward Christmas Party!
Santa didn't traumatize ALL the kids!
Some liked sitting on his lap!
Some asked for a ride in his sleigh!
I love the little kid sitting at Santa's feet!!!
When Santa first arrived a little tiny girl, I'd guess under two, ran up and gave Santa a hug! It was adorable!!! They had little bells on strings at the tables and when Santa got there a bunch of little kids took the bells to Santa!!! Hilarious!!!
Lots of crying kids!!!
Santa can be very traumatizing! I was traumatized by Santa once or twice!When I was much younger, I was sitting in Primary, minding my own business! Nellie Holguin was my teacher. Unfortunately I was sitting next to the door when someone knocked on it, so I got to answer it!!! Much to my trauma...I opened the door to find Santa Claus leaning down to my height. Scared me to death!!!! Not a big fan of people in costumes!!! What made it worse was Santa had my mother's eyes!!!!
One little girl gave Santa her letter! This isnt' the little girl, but it is the letter in his hand.
Someone happily sitting on Santa's lap!
More Trauma!!!
My second traumatic experience with Santa: My Mom was Primary President and for the Ward Party the Primary was doing "Twas the Night Before Christmas" The El Rancho Choraleers came to sing while the primary children acted it out!!! Santa didn't show!!! Guess who got to be Santa!!!! The pains of being the Primary President's daughter!!
More happy faces!!!!
Needless to say, when I first saw this Santa...I was actually a little scared! The whole issue with people in costumes!!! I softened up and took him home with me!!!
Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!!!

Is that Eddie???? I was waiting to see if there was a picture of Eddie sitting on his lap, but I guess maybe since you took him home it WAS Eddie. I can't even tell!! There's a lot of role playing you could do with that costume and some songs!!! Tell Eddie I said so!
WOW......Eddie gets a big gold star for every kid he dealt with !!! That was WAY over and beyond the call of duty Eddie !!!
How fun, I love all the fun pictures, Eddie makes a great Santa!!! Good thing its not year-round!
