Sitting with Santa

The Georgetown Library always has fun activities, but this one was one of their best. Their Holiday Party included a quartet of brass instruments playing Christmas music. They also had two tables set up, one with holiday treats and the other with crafts. First, Santa arrived and sat in his big red chair and then read a Christmas story, then we all sang with the quartet and the kids even got little jingle bells on ribbon to shake while we sung. Then they said we could go sit in Santa's lap, eat, or do crafts. With so much to do the mass of people were spread out and after we ate and made an art project, we only waited in line 10 minutes to see Santa! It was a "bring your own camera" event, but I think it went so smoothly! When it was Troy's turn I coaxed him up there by telling him Santa would give him a sucker for sitting in his lap. So, of course, when Santa asks what do you want for Christmas the reply was "a sucker!" I don't know if Santa understood what he was saying but when it was all over Troy did get a candy cane, and he was so happy!
