⚪ SANTA’S SEASON: Day One Opening day usually starts slow, so I wasn’t expecting a line waiting for me. Six to eight kids came through in the first fifteen minutes! After the initial rush and a few quick “drive-by” hellos, the day took a few memorable turns.

First, I met a young artist named Savannah. When she told me she loved to draw, I handed over my notebook and let her have at it. She sketched an eerie eye complete with lashes and veins… and completely left out the pupil. (I’m still not sure if it was avant-garde art or a subtle warning, so I’m keeping an eye on this one.)

Right before the end of my shift, a tiny one-year-old named Lila arrived. She wanted nothing to do with the big guy in the red suit. To win her over, I abandoned the throne and got down on the floor with my Spot the Dog book. It worked like a charm. She warmed up enough to stand beside me for a few shots, and eventually sat right down next to me for more. Her parents didn’t end up buying the photo package, which is a shame, because getting back up off that floor required everything I had.

Happy to report I made it back to my feet solo. It wasn’t graceful, and my knees had a few things to say about it, but we didn’t have to call the fire department!
