Here Comes Santa Claus...

Posted by Lesley (Lincoln, United States) on 24 December 2008 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
are pulling on the reins.
Bells are ringing, children singing;
All is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and say your prayers,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

This dear old fellow is almost as old as me! My godmother gave him to me on my 2nd birthday (1963). He takes two large batteries, one in each boot, and when the switch is turned on, he waves his wand (which lights up) and shakes his bell, turning his head from side to side. I can't imagine Christmas without him!

This year, Santa Claus has brought me the gift of you and your coming into my life. (Your dad does look a little like Santa, doesn't he??) Your recent photographs have stimulated my own journey back down memory land.

@john4jack: What a lovely comment, Jack. Thank you! (And, yes, Dad does look a little like Santa, although maybe after Santa has been on a strict diet!)
I'm glad you've enjoyed my recent photos. It's nice having a place to peruse them whenever I wish.

@JJ: Isn't it?! I suspect it helps that I take the batteries out each year. Wonder what would work for us?! Rechargeable batteries? :)
