Dear Santa

Santa Claus gets ready to take a peek at a last-minute Christmas wish before he checks his list twice and heads out on his annual visit. This scene was from a light show outside the Rio hotel in Las Vegas in December 2018.

Christmas, Portland, Oregon

This army of Santas was spotted last seek in a storefront just off Pioneer Courthouse Square in Portland, Oregon. I haven’t yet decided whether this display is adorable or mildly frightening. 🤣

Christmas come early!

Look who I bumped into while out wandering earlier today! Santa tells me his early appearance is owing to his task of bringing some extra joy and cheer to the city. (The fresh coat of snow came just in time, too.)

Why so happy, Santa?

It seems whoever designed this thing wasn’t thinking things through. Oh well, at least we get a laugh out of it. Merry Christmas to all!
