The Real Santa

We received the above note from our neighborhood trash collectors a couple of weeks before Christmas. Notice the clip-art of Santa on the back end of a trash truck tossing presents with a dog at his heels. The boys thought this funny, and I teased them that Santa has to use a trash truck in Santiago because there's no snow.
The week of Christmas, Crystal took the boys to a mall to shop, and there they found a really old, frail Santa greeting shoppers. The boys wanted to go hug him, but Crystal was worried for him. "Be careful not to knock him down," she warned the boys, "you don't want to hurt Santa." Caleb replied, "Mom, he's not the real Santa - the real Santa comes on the trash truck."
