Email from Mimi

As I mentioned, Makenzie went to Ocean City with Jared last weekend. She got to sit on Santa's lap (again, no scanner, can't post the picture sorry). Well evidently Santa wasn't so jolly. Mimi sent an email about her visit with Santa. Here is the email:

Karen, Jared has a photo of Makenzie on Santa's lap...we had it taken when we were in OC. When we were on our way back to the condo she was looking at the photo and said, "Mimi I feel sorry for Santa". I asked why and she said, "Because he looks so sad and I feel sorry for him". He was about the worst Santa we have ever seen...no expression, no questions, no "jolly" in him. As she walked up to him she handed him a "scribbled" wish list and all he did was lay it on a table next to him with all of the others he had received...like it was a chore or something. She was so excited and so cute accepting a candy cane...that, too, was a chore for him. I don't know where they found him, but we all want them to send him back to "Santa School". If Jared has not given you the photo, let me know and I will remind him. Wait until you see it...you have never seen such an "unhappy" Santa. At least a "jolly" one will be visiting at our annual Christmas party this month. Take care and hope you got a laugh...because Old Saint Nick didn't. Laurie

Shame on Santa!!! But how cute is it that Makenzie was concerned for Santa and not upset? She is such a sweet heart. I feel bad too b/c it was her first time she sat on Santa's lap, that she will remember (too young to remember the others), and Santa had to be a dud. O-well, as Mimi said, she will get to see Santa at the annual Wood Christmas party and Breakfast with Santa on December 12th at Marbury Baptist Church.
