I really am Santa Claus!
I am now officially a Santa Claus.
Last night I worked a three-hour shift at a local mall.
I am scheduled for other shifts, including Christmas Eve.
This has been one of my dreams for years. Two years ago, my wife even gave me a nice Santa outfit. But I haven’t had a chance to wear it. (My beard has been an issue. Being a perfectionist, I wanted to do parties with a natural beard, but I have to keep my beard trimmed and it’s not quite white enough yet.)
At the mall, I wear the costume they provide. But I did bring my own boots (a nice leather pair I bought at a biker shop.)
I said a prayer on the way, hoping that I would bring a sense of love and wonder to the kids.
It was wonderful.

Congratulations, Lee, what a fun thing to do!
Indeed, congratulations.
I have resolved that if I haven't lost my oversized belly by the time my beard goes white, I'm going to be Santa Claus every December.
It sounds like fun.
