I'm going to share with you some photos from our local Chamber of Commerce "Christmas at the Farm" event yesterday at Parmelee Farm. Santa came for a visit, and I have to say, one of the highlights of my holiday this year is getting to take some of their photos.. their reactions were priceless and all over the map... it brought all the - childhood awe- of the holiday front and center - I don't know about you, but the jolly old fella scared the crap out of me when I was young. My son wanted nothing to do with him either, although we admired him from afar and always made sure to leave cookies and milk and grass and treats for the reindeer come Christmas Eve.
Do you recognize this guy talking to Santa about predicted flying sleigh travel weather for Christmas Eve?.... I've gotta tell you, considering he's from one of the biggest political dynasties of our time, you'd never know it. Ted Kennedy Jr. is one very warm and down-to-earth person who really gives a damn about the average Joe, and especially those with disabilities. It's refreshing, just that.
Have I told you lately?... just loving this season for so many reasons. Those kids above? yeah. That. Why do we forget it? Let's not... And Liz Jones? I just received your lovely note, thank you. This post is for you -

How very sweet - those children - I had to laugh at some, and go "awe" at others. There's nothing better than kids at Christmas. And, for a little while I thought that Santa was the real deal. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't recognize Ted Kennedy Jr, but so glad that he and others took up the reins of Special Olympics. It's a beautiful thing, right? :)
