12-6-08...visiting Santa with Max

My good ol' cousin Max took me to visit Santa in the city tonight. We had to walk on the side walks, wait for lots of "don't walk" signals, and go past a bunch of wee-oos (vehicles with sirens). Every time we walked over a crosswalk I yelled out "Choo choo tra! Choo choo tra!" becasue they reminded me of train tracks.

As we got closer and closer to where Santa was, there were more and more lights!

I brought a gift and gave it to Santa to give to Toys For Tots. Momma helped me pick it out - it was a fashion design set for a big girl (stratigically chosen so that I wouldn't get upset when it came time to give it to Santa). I put it in the box all by myself.

We had to wait in line for a few minutes and at first I kept saying, "No Ho! No Ho! No Ho!" and whinning. Momma said, "Oh boy! THIS shoud lbe fun." But when it was my turn, Santa's helper opened the gate for me and I RAN witha huge smile on my face right into Santa's arms. He scooped me up and hugged me tight! I hugged him right back and said, "Oh Ho! My Ho!"

Max was not as happy to Santa. This made me a bit concerned. The BEST news is that since Max was so upset, Santa gave us candy cane in an attempt to cheer him up.

I love "con-doe kay!" (translation: candy canes)
