Our Childhood Visits to Santa

"What do you call people who are afraid of Santa Claus? Claustrophobic."

-- Unknown



I came across other "treasures" as I was rummaging through a trunk at Mom's house. 
They inspired me to suggest a new page to which subscribers could contribute:

"My Childhood Visits to Santa"

I will begin:

I would bet that many Typhoons (and Crabbers and Farmers and Mariners) have one or more photos of their visits to Santa.  If a few more are submitted, we can see if the Santa in mine resembles the Santa in theirs. My photos were not labeled, but I am guessing that the location was Nachman's. If other photos are labeled and the Santa is the same, then we will know.

Anyway, it should be good for a few laughs. Perhaps we can all submit funny captions to fit the expressions ... both ours AND Santa's.

David, I may have mentioned this once or twice before, but you were one of the most naturally adorable little boys I've ever seen.
Thanks so much, both for the images and the great suggestion!

I altered the name of the page ever so slightly.



After (my father) retired, he (are you ready?) was the Santa Claus whose lap you sat on at Newmarket and told your dreams and wishes to.  He loved it and he loved every kid that sat on his lap ~~~ even the ones that peed on him.

That was MY Dad, and he was the BEST !!

Santa Claus Is Coming to Town


You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He's making a list
And checking it twice;
Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake!
O! You better watch out!
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town
Santa Claus is coming to town!
