“It’s the Real One!”

...exclaimed Quinn as we approached Santa’s Village at a local mall yesterday afternoon. Upon close inspection, Quinn was sufficiently convinced that this Santa was the real one. Q was beaming from ear to ear, excited to have the opportunity to sit on Santa’s lap and discuss this year’s requests. Jake shared Santa’s ample lap with his big brother, though he seemed more interested in munching on the fur around Santa’s sleeve than the magical man himself.

On our way out of the Village, Jake turned in my arm and gave Santa the sweetest grin, and the twinkle in our little man’s eye led us all to believe that yes, this indeed was the real Santa.

Just Believe.
