The Fright Before Christmas

He's big (please reference "Jelly belly"), clad in a shock of red, has so much facial hair his mouth is nearly obscured, and he carries bells...really folks, what's to fancy here? While Santa proved a successful photo op last year, Harry has gotten a wee bit more hip to the realities of this seasonal character. And he was having none of the lap this year. This photo shows exactly how close he was willing to get last night, which in fairness was considerably closer than some of the other children at the party (also smarties). One woman said her child was "hiding" until she gave the all-clear, given that a mere glance of the man in red will cause histrionics. Don't worry Harry, I'll tell Santa what you want for Christmas ....a diamond necklace for mommy.
