Santa Time

Boy, this daily stuff is hard to do. Seems like I always remember it right before I head to bed, with no time to catch up. So today will likely be another double-dose, though if I forget the second half, I wouldn't be shocked.

I mentioned Richard Ruble in the Promise Keepers post of a few days ago. Richard has had bright white hair for as long as I've known him. I think he said it changed color in his thirties or so. Anyway, about June he stops getting haircuts and stops shaving, so as to be ready for this time of year, when he can play Santa Claus. He does it quite well, as you'll see.

This year, he had knee and hip surgery scheduled for late October, which he thought would give him enough rehab time to do his yearly Santa duties. However, the surgeries then got postponed to the first week in December, which meant he had to cancel all his appointments at various places.

Before he was scheduled to go in, though, Meron asked him if he could get the suit (he borrows it) and visit her mommy group. They met at one of the mom's house special for him to show. The kids loved it and I'm pretty sure Richard did as well. Meron got our kids all decked out for the event, putting them in some nice Christmas clothes. The result:

Hopefully this helps get or keep you in the Christmas spirit! Merry Christmas to all!
