When I heard that Santa would be at an event (Christmas in the Village) in Hillsboro Village, I knew it'd be a great opportunity for Jett to meet Santa without dealing with the mall craziness... I was fully prepared to do the mall thing, but this sounded like so much fun! I figured that since it was a one-time thing that the line might be long, so we got there early and were only the fourth or fifth family in line.
Jett isn't wary of strangers, which I'm not sure is a good or bad thing. I did wonder, though, if the big guy in the bright red suit with rosy cheeks and snow white beard would frighten him a little (like a couple kids in line ahead of us who seemed more than a little frightened). Nope. After Ryan handed him to Santa, Jett just sat there, mesmerized by Santa's beard and gloves. No tears, not even a peep.
Santa said to Jett, "I saw you earlier!" since we had passed him on the sidewalk before getting in line.
Oh, and this Santa... I'm pretty sure he was the real deal (and not just one of his helpers)! See the pic below and decide for yourself... ;)
Merry Christmas!
