Santa makes house calls


Twas the week before Christmas when all through our nest,
all the creatures were stirring and studying for tests.
Sitting at the table reading a story to my kid
what do you suppose that Santa did?
He showed up at the door without invite;
visited with the family and was off into the night.
With confusion we welcomed him in,
greeted and chatted and posed with a grin.
Who was this person you might ask,
As you can see from the pictures--he's on his yearly task.
Checking the list twice was the story he gave,
He waved off their questions with a smile and a wave;
checking addresses and chilren in the abode
and then off into the night he rode.
Where he came from we can not speculate,
Little people with doubts were left to ruminate,
Why he was here was anyones guess
Parents giggled and shrugged and decided not to press!

Seriously, we have no clue. Possibly collecting for some kind of charity but when he realized the kids were so into it he definitely adjusted his agenda for their sakes. His suit was amazing. High quality, etc. One of those moments that the kids will talk about at family reunions when they are old "remember when Santa came to our door".

Cool, I wish Santa came to visit me! Good job having the presence of mind to take some footage! If Santa came to my house idk if I'd be calm enough to think of it!
