Santa will be taking a break from using his sleigh as it gets fixed and ready to go for next week…at least for tomorrow (December 19). It’s pretty cool that we will have him right in our backyard! He’s going to be heading underground TOMORROW on the Metro to visit kids. Here’s the schedule… “The Niagara [...]

Boy Sits On Santa's Lap, Realizes 13 Years Later It's His Father-In-Law

Jeremy Taylor — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 16:48:32 +0000

When Chris Burd was 13-years-old he went to the mall in Maplewood, Minn during Christmas time. He was with his three-year-old sister, and to appease her he also sat on the lap of the mall's Santa Claus and asked for gifts.

Fast forward 13 years. Chris had recently become engaged when he got a call from his mother who tells him she had made an interesting discovery while going through a batch of old pictures.

Singing UPS Guy Is Modern Day Santa

Emerald Catron — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 16:25:29 +0000

Here's a nice UPS man singing a Christmas song about how he's basically a modern-day Santa. He actually makes a good point. Plus, he can sing. Our favorite part is at the end when he offers up the disclaimer that he wasn't slacking on the job, since he's on a scheduled break. It makes us want to order so many packages online,

See Over 800 Santas Running in Germany

Emerald Catron — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 15:33:34 +0000

Roughly 800 people put on Santa costumes for the Fourth Annual Michendorf Santa Run in Michendorf, Germany. The race is sponsored by Laufclub Michendorf (which translated means Michendorf Running Club, imagine that) and is 10 kilometers long. You can't quite tell from these pictures, but it actually began snowing pretty hard during the race, which probably makes these the most Christmas-y photos ever. Enjoy!
