The four stages of Santa Claus:
1) You believe in Santa Claus
2) You don’t believe in Santa Clause
3) You are Santa Clause
4) You look like Santa Clause
LOL. That's about right!
It’s no Riddle of the Sphinx, but that sums it up nicely!
Also, if anybody ever asks you to put on a Santa Claus suit (for the kids), consider that as a hint to go on a diet ASAP.
I was walking down the aisle in our local Publix and this family was coming the opposite way.
The young father had a full jet black beard with long black hair down his back, the wife also had long black hair pushing a tiny little boy sitting up in the shopping cart. The Mother-in-law was with them, all the picture of third world immigrants. The little boy was staring at me with a amazed and perplexed look on total awe.
I trim my beard every once in a while, when my wife complains or when I get tired of chewing on my moustache. This day my beard was a little full and had that mountain man look.
When I got close to them, I said that I could tell he had never seen a man with a white beard before. They looked surprised for a moment, but then noticed I was talking about the boy, then they all agreed at once that he probably had not. We got a little chuckle out of the way he was acting, but I didn't think until later about the Santa Claus aspect of it.
I love the songs about Santa who's really Dad but the kid doesn't know, he's just wondering how come Santa is way too cozy with Mom.
Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy (Or Daddy Looked a Lot Like Him)
LOL. God bless America.
