Seeing Santa
At this age, about 17 months, Isaac is not QUITE as excited by Santa as Mom and Dad are, nonetheless he tolerated us as we talked to him incessantly about the "Big Guy" all week. We were trying to scope out the perfect Santa and there were two competitors--Natick and Burlington. Both had nice set ups. Both had real beard Santas (is there any other way, really?). So the tie breaker was which was more convenient.
I called Burlington on Friday and here is the transcript of the conversation:
ME: Is Santa there yet?
Bored Lady on the Other End: Yes, sir. He has arrived.
ME: AWESOME!
ME: What are his hours?
Bored Lady: An hour before mall hours and closes 30 minutes before we do.
ME: GREAT!
Bored Lady: Is that all sir?
ME: YES! You made my day.
In hindsight I recognize that I was probably a little too excited, but hey, this is Isaac and Santa. What is not to get excited about? Right? Right?
Oh wait. Isaac wasn't exactly thrilled about Santa this time around. Here is the shot:
Everyone was pretty happy, especially me, as you can tell. Everyone that is, but our serious sam, Isaac Anthony.
Isaac Anthony didn't want Santa to try any of his elf tricks on him. Isaac was not impressed by all of the snow and jingle bells. He was not taken in by the free candy cane, or the fake reindeer. Isaac was serious. He wasn't impressed by the Big Guy, because Isaac Anthony, like the Honey Badger, doesn't give a shit.
I love that kid.
