Learning to love the saint
Saturday we saw Santa in the local shopping centre. Quite a traditional looking Santa quietly passing in-and-out of consciousness inside his costume and beard; not one of these new-fangled-metra-Santa's with their obviously-fake-beards, barefeet and self-referential-irony. It was possible to have your photo taken with the sweltering Saint but Jacob wasn't going anywhere near him so we left that alone. He did receive a balloon and little Santa-book to read.
The Santa-Claus-is-coming-to-town jingle on ABC Kids is enough these days to send him into an over-excited frenzy. He's still not sure exactly what it's all about but he knows it's worth risking my wrath and leaping excitedly on the furniture for. After watching the promo carefully a couple of times he has announced that he may now be ready to give Santa another try.
