Santa, Baby

My parents surprised us with an inflatable. An 8-foot tall Santa, to be specific. Sure, he's not drifting the high seas on a pirate ship, but he's still SANTA, baby!

We got him put together and wired up on Friday. I powered him up and we stepped back to see our own special little monster come to life.

Santa hadn't been upright more than 5 minutes before a neighbor lady on the other side of the street walked by with her two kids. The little boy couldn't have been older than 3. He saw Santa and started to leap with joy. "MAMA MAMA lookits Santa its SANTA! Santa, I wanna ..."

We couldn't hear everything he was saying at that point. He was jibbering at super-sonic speeds, and we were laughing.

Neighbor boy told our Santa what he wants for Christmas. :)
