Saturday, December 9, 2017:
Santa Clause arrived in downtown Brainerd
aboard a fire truck. For those who do not know, reindeer only fly on Christmas Eve! |
 |
|
Mike
Williams was playing a harmonica and singing, "Here Comes Santa Clause," at the
Brainerd VFW. |
 |
|
Then
Santa arrived and started talking with kids. One was in awe of the jolly
old elf. |
 |
|
Another wasn't sure he was the "real" Santa Clause. Santa was a bit taken aback, but the young lady became a believer when she pulled his real beard. |
 |
 |
|
Hmmm...what would you like for Christmas? "I'd like a dog," she said.
"That's a tall order young lady," he said. The other girl said she'd like a cat. |
 |
|
Plenty
of photos were taken to remember that day. |
 |
|
In the
end, everyone was happy to see Santa. As for Christmas, Santa gave strict instructions: No diet cookies. All cookies must be large, not small ones! |
| There was a story in the December issue of the American Legion Magazine. It told of a youngster kicking Santa Clause in the shin and exclaiming, "That's for last year!" |
Quote of the day:
Santa, you sleigh me!. Mark
