Well, I live in Georgia
so it isn't unusual for there to be men with grey hair, a long grey
beard, a red flannel shirt, overalls and black work boots walking
around. I had to stop by Ace Hardware to pick up something and my
then 3 year old son started to act up in typical annoying 3 year old
fashion. From behind we heard a voice and we turned around to see
such a man. The man said, "Santa's watching you.". I thought my
kid was going to pass out. Now he really understands that "he
knows if you have been bad or good". Santa's always watching...even
at Ace Hardware.

Not exactly a Santa story,
but close.
So I was kind of a weird kid, and one year on Christmas
Eve I went to my parents and told them that it had
occurred to me that the reindeer did more actual work than
Santa. I said that since the reindeer were actually
pulling the sleigh, and Santa was just sitting in it, that
it seemed unfair that he got to eat cookies all the time
and they never got anything. Long story short, I left a
salad for the reindeer that Christmas Eve instead of
cookies for Santa. I even put in nine cherry tomatoes
(one for each reindeer and one for Rudolf) and put a big
sign next to it so Santa would know it was for them. I
can just see my parents putting presents under the tree
and munching on a salad and talking about what a strange
child they had.

Have a friend who took her
dog to meet Santa at the mall for "bring your dog
to meet Santa at the mall" day. Mind you, this is a 90 pound
Labrador...
well as you probably have guessed her dog took a giant dump as they
waited
in line. I almost took one myself I was laughing so hard. Can you
imagine
your dog taking a dump in the middle of the mall as everyone around you
just
watches it and then watches as you attempt to clean it up?

Hiya Toddski ( may I
call you Toddski? ),
When I was about 7 or so
my little brother was 4.
Twas Christmas eve and
my parents were trying to get us to hit the sack...you know how kids
are on that night... they were using every trick in the book and
were employing the old "santa won't come if you kids are up" gambit
when we see freaking santa claus walking down the street right in
front of our freaking house....needless to say we FREAKED!! Now
this was obviously some dude on his way to not at all our house but
it mattered not WE HAD SEEN SANTA ..having just been warned that he
would not be visiting our house if the kids were up WELL. we were in
bed like a shot.......my parents got such joy out of seeing us like
that ...all spazzy excited and falling over each other to get to bed
yelling "we saw him we saw him!!" that here i sit at the age of 38
and they retold the story this very evening both with the most
amazing looks on their faces..i remember it vaugely but they
remember it in a way that is so coolio and fond ...it makes me want
kids of my own (but not really) that its as though it happened
yesterday for them. that makes me feel wicked that they got such joy
from my near santa seizure.
the end.
and happy happy to you
and yours bro.

Mr. Odd Todd,
I've got a great Santa Story. Please see
below.
The Santa Claus Phenomenon Caught on Film?
Seven year old Clay Swoboda shot super 8mm
footage of Santa Claus in 1973, using a ball of twine and his
father's movie camera. What he did was ingenius. He used the twine
to create a crude trip wire across his fireplace. It ran through a
series of pulleys, to a super 8mm camera on a tripod. The system
worked, and he was able to capture a few frames of Santa Claus in
action. Scientists have studied the film and found it difficult to
dispute. Others feel this could be the only real photographic
evidence of a "Santa Sighting." Please check it out.
I should tell you a little about me. I am a
director and cinematographer in Los Angeles. "Search for Santa" is
my passion project. It is a documentary-style film that attempts to
prove Santa is real, using science and exploration. It's the first
part in a series I'm self-distributing.
There are all sorts of clips and "findings"
detailed on the Santa Seeker Journal. I also have some cool flash
videos and quicktime movies which you are welcome to use on your
site. I'd like to send you a press link with tons of great media,
if you're interested.
Thanks for spreading the word!
Santa is out there!
