CHRISTMAS STORY FOR YOU ALL
Hello everyone! Merry Christmas! I shall tell you a story to get you in the holiday mood.
Today Laura and I got all prettied up and went looking for a Santa to take a picture with. We sort of realized that it was the day before Christmas Eve and maybe Santa was very busy with his preparations for tomorrow night and we almost gave up, but then we accidentally stumbled upon one at the South Bay Pavilion (or something like that. We were going to target but found a mall and decided to check.)
HOORAY A SANTA! So we go in and there is hardly any line and we are like HELLO SANTA CAN WE TAKE A PICTURE WITH YOU? and he is like YES SIT ON SANTAS LAP HO HO HO!!! and then we pose for the picture and he is like SIT ON MY KNEE! PUT YOUR ARM AROUND SANTA!!!!!! I guess one of us accidentally touched his hat b/c he was like OH NO MY HAT IS FALLING OFF so he TOOK OFF HIS HAT and he had really bad black roots under his "gray" hair and repositioned it. So we are posing and the lady who is supposed to be taking pictures is dealing with something else and ignoring us and so he just starts talking.
MY BROTHER ASKS ME WHY I, I AM AN ATTORNEY BY THE WAY, THE EX ATTORNEY GENERAL I AM FROM MEXICO, WHY I, THE EX ATTORNEY GENERAL WOULD BE A SANTA CLAUS AND TAKE THIS JOB. I WILL TELL HIM ABOUT THIS MOMENT BECAUSE THIS IS THE BEST JOB IN THE WORLD THANK YOU GOD I LOVE MY JOB.
Yeah, we're still in his lap. The lady is still ignoring us.
AFTER YOU TAKE THE PICTURE YOU MUST TAKE ONE WITH YOUR CELL PHONE AND EMAIL IT TO ME AND I WILL SHOW MY BROTHER AND HE WILL UNDERSTAND HOW JOYOUS MY JOB IS (THANK YOU GOD AGAIN). I HOPE THAT LADY HURRIES UP AND TAKES THE PICTURE! MY LEG IS GETTING NUMB OH BUT DO NOT GET UP! ACTUALLY SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING! SHE IS STALLING TO GIVE ME EXTRA TIME HO HO HO!!! SHE IS MY WELL TRAINED ELF. ACTUALLY SHE IS THE WORST PERSON I HAVE WORKED WITH. EVER!!!
Finally she noticed we were posing and took our picture. So we smiled, popped off his lap, and got our pictures. I tried to pick the one where Santa looked the least lecherous. When we were finished, there was no line so he was like COME LET ME SEE THE PICTURE LET ME SEE so we had to go over and show him and he was like OH THIS IS VERY NICE THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAY! And then there was an extended conversation about how he prefers chocolate chip cookies and whole milk and some carrots for the reindeer when he arrives and to please remember and thanked us for having holiday spirit.
Later, when we were leaving Target, we saw him going in in his street clothes. Laura was like, "kate," and nodded with her head and i saw and i was like HEAD DOWN, JUST WALK.
THE END.
