 BEFORE THE RUSH OF THE HOLIDAY, 

A WHITE-COATED SANTA 

GOES SHOPPING

TO PICK HIS OWN CHRISTMAS TREE!

 HANGING AROUND THE GREENERY...
TALL, SKINNY SANTA SWINGS CANDY CANES
AS LONG AS HIS LEGS...

AND  ROLY, POLY SANTA WAVES

HIS "MAGIC" TREE WAND...

REMINDING US THAT SANTA'S WATCHING US!!

EVEN WHEN

WE CAN'T SEE HIS EYES...

SHHH! DON'T SAY THIS TOO LOUD...

BUT, 

THIS SANTA IS ONE OF MY

F-A-V-O-R-I-T-I-E-S!!!

I BOUGHT HIM AT A "POST-HOLIDAY SALE"

IN PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND -

HE'S ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE WASN'T GOBBLED UP 

BEFORE HIS "INFAMOUS" EVENING SLEIGH RIDE??

(PS - IT WAS MY FIRST TRIP TO RHODE ISLAND

& FIRST CHRISTMAS WITH JPE! 

SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY INSTEAD OF

E-L-E-V-E-N  HOLIDAYS AGO)
