Ok so this is my very first post but I must start somewhere.. Something really neat happened to my son and I at the mall a couple of days ago that I must share with you...This is a completely true story and I have not added or changed anything..
My son and I were at Willowbrook Mall playing in the play area as we usually do on a dark and gloomy day.. There were a good number of kids here since it is about a week away from Christmas.. Well, he was playing along and I was just sitting there watching him as I usually do (making sure he doesn't dart out of the area or hurts any other kiddos). All of a sudden he stops dead in his tracks and is staring at something behind me. He had a nervous/scared appearance on his face so I looked back over my shoulder and what did I see... Santa Claus.. I really mean a man that looked just like Santa.. No he was not dressed in the typical red coat and pants or have the silly hat .. but he was wearing shorts and I believe a shirt that had something to do with Jimmy Buffet.. He was a real man.. The other peculiar thing I noticed was that he was staring MY SON down tooo...and that Daniel seemed to be the only child that even noticed this "SANTA" . Well Daniel runs to me and the man approaches. As soon as the "SANTA" reaches me Daniel blurts out "I am Daniel Ordner".. He had to repeat it a couple of times as the "SANTA" didn't quite understand... Then the "Santa" asked Daniel "Do you know who I am?" Daniel just sat there looking.. Finally the "Santa" said "I know you know who I am, it will be our secret" The man said "Merry Christmas" and then as quickly as he appeared he disappeared into the crowd of people... After this event, I sat there with a little fear for a moment as who is this stranger talking to my child.. And then the thought crossed my mind,, Maybe there really is a SANTA.... Daniel was the only child in a room full of kids that even saw this strange man.. And I am telling you he looked just like the fat, rosey cheeked man..
So the question is this... Do you Believe??? I know I do!
I BELIEVE....We had several similar experiences when Taylor was little at our mall. Jimmy Buffet attire was included as well. At least we know Santa is a parrothead!
