I think it is time we out these imposters.
Santa #1 – Beard is too bright. Scared look in his eye. If that beard comes off, I have no idea where he will run to, but it looks like he is checking for quick exits.
Santa #2 – Real beard, soft hold, and a merriness to his red costume. He looks pretty comfortable. I don’t think he is going anywhere.
Not only can this Santa stand up, but he can hold babies, blow bubbles, tell stories, do magic tricks and laugh with all his might in a… Ho! Ho! Ho!
He brings presents in his big red bag. He has a special bubble that he holds in his hand and he can see alllllll the children in the world. Remember that kids, he is watching.
Let’s recap once more.
Ousted by a three-month old and he knows it.
A gift of sweet peace cuddled in the arms of Mr. Claus himself.
Even cute baby can’t resist being captivated by Santa’s charm and stories.
True Santa takes his leave (who I happen to know as Uncle David – shhhhhhh!). But everyone knows he is the real one. And to the good Church Santa….truly sorry about your beard. I think Averey still has a few strands in her baby claw. Oops.
One week until Christmas! I have been frantic to prepare, and yet, I am still so behind. At least it is mostly on wrapping at this point. I pray you are all wrapping yours up to and this post finds you well and ready for the Big Day!
Last call, because she is so cute no matter which Santa she sees. And because, my blog friend Rommel does this, and I love it. Visit him here as he is recapping the best of his featured blogs this year (maybe I made the list!).
Averey and Grampie
You know if a Santa isn’t holding Cute Baby a grandparent is.

I have feeling a little package is holding you up. Hard to wrap when you are cuddling something precious. 🙂 Enjoy every moment.

I see her about once a week. I definitely make the best of those visits! She is the cutest thing ever. I had no idea what a crazy grandma I would be.
I got this watermark on a Black Friday deal. The lady was offering half off her designs to make a custom one. We worked together for about a week and she came out with this watercolor watermark. I just love it. I think it is pretty. I still dislike watermarking my photos but having this one helps.
