Santa is coming!

We are running out of days until Santa is here.... I am all ready finally. Are you? My Christmas cards are finally in the mail - sorry if they come a little late. There was a ribbon fiasco, I'd care not to talk about.
Steve and Mack have visited Santa this year! Last year Steve did, but Mack got to join in too. Luckily my dear friend Michelle was able to help me take them, or it wouldn't have been possible. They are crazy!! When we opened the car, both dogs ran out, and began playing in the parking lot! Very scary thing to do at the mall, 3 Saturdays before Christmas. Michelle apparently is some sort of crazy lady, and she tackled them both down for me. When we got into the mall there were dogs everywhere. And mine are huge, so we were being pulled every which way. When it was finally our turn the dogs would not go near the Christmas tree! The end result is a photo with a crappy background (the beautiful stuff was on the other side of Santa) and 2 dogs that aren't really looking. It's still pretty funny though.
I was noticing the other day that my most favourite image of Santa is from Coca-Cola. When I picture Santa, I picture a vintage version like this one. Maybe, when I was growing up, there were a lot of Santa Coke commercials, and they've brainwashed me. I hope not! I hope that Coke has just gotten it right. What kind of Santa do you picture?

Nice way to get people to comment on your blog. Hee hee! It's sad that getting a good picture of dogs and kids with Santa is the same. Darn near impossible! I like vintagey Santa's too, like yours but not so cartoony. More like a line drawing
