“SANTA IS COMING, SANTA IS COMING” Little Girl screams as she’s running thru the house. Who is this Santa person, exactly? I’m not sure, but whoever he is, everyone is excited about him. I’m resting in Little Girl’s room as usual and in the back of the closet I see something white and fluffy. Time to investigate. Next thing you know I’m in a winter wonderland! 

Snow falling, music playing, this is awesome!. What’s that castle up ahead? Who in their right mind would build a castle out in the middle of nowhere? Here’s a sign...I can’t read, but it says “Santa’s Workshop”. A quick peek in the window reveals little people with pointed hats making toys. (this is the weirdest trip thru the closet yet). Well I guess it’s time to go home. I wish I could have stayed longer, but it’s getting pretty cold.

Just as I’m about to head back, a big round man comes out. He says, “Hi Jax, I hear you’ve been very good this year. Tell Little Girl, Girl and Boy that they’ve been good too and I’ll be at your house in a few days, Ho-Ho-Ho”. I’m dumbfounded. So many questions…..how does he know where we live? How does he know the children by name? How does he know they’ve been good? Why is he coming to the house? Do I need to be on extra high security guard? Is he a threat to my family? Is he naughty? He seems pretty nice. We’ll have to see about him. Ho-Ho-Ho indeed.
