Santa has a year round workshop at Yankee Candle and happened to be hard at work when we visited. There were not many kids around, and although the girls studiously avoided making eye contact with him, Santa snuck up on them and coaxed them into sitting on his lap. Emily could not think of a single thing to ask for, while Elizabeth could only come up with an iPad mini (but she had the good sense to look embarrassed when she mentioned it). Santa gave them a brief lecture on good manners and then we were on our way.
Elizabeth jumped a mile when she turned and saw Santa standing there.
Elizabeth later told us that she inspected Santa quite closely to see if he was the "real" Santa or just a helper. This guy, she thought, had a good chance of being the real deal.
Love this saying....
