CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS

     One of my favorite Christmas traditions was when a best friend of my dad's would come dressed as Santa, to our Christmas eve party. we loved hearing him tell stories of how he remembered my dad when he was a young boy. I have a cherished picture of my dad sitting next to him just a few years ago.

My dad looks especially happy with Santa! So sad to lose him in October!

  Here are some other Santa pictures I absolutely adore.
