Santa came to our house

My brother in law told the kids he had to go get ice for grandma and then left. A few minutes later 'Santa' came walking down the street and looked like he was searching for a house. My sisters got their kids to look out the window just before he got to the house. He came up the drive and they were going NUTS! He had his bag with gifts inside for each of them, their moms and dads, grandma and the other aunts. All seven were hilarious. They range in age from 4-9 years old.
His 'HO HO HO's weren't bad. My oldest nephew, Evan, looked at him strange and then said 'hey, Santa, you kinda sound like Dad.' Santa acted like he ignored it and moved on. Each of the kids got to tell him Merry Christmas and watched him walk back down the road.
My sister, Rita, video taped it while Sandy helped Santa hand out the gifts. Karen, Mom and I tried to get it with our cameras. About ten minutes later Brian showed up and said they were out of ice. The kids pounced on him about missing Santa and were still talking about it when they all left to go their homes a few hours later.
In a few years they will all get wise to Santa. But, for today, they were all smiles and laughter.

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Aww, that's cute! As a child I was always afraid of the Santas. Well, not afraid, just to shy to sit on their laps in the mall for pictures or tell them what I wanted for Christmas. lol. = )
I know its very late, but: Merry Christmas!
