Ho, Ho,..............etc..

I was browsing through the selections at the local video store the other night in preparation for yet another exciting Friday evening in the basement. There was a couple there with a small boy. He was probably around 2 years old, cute as a button, into everything, and running off at the head like a physic woodpecker.
At one point, I heard him say; (in that sotto voce that passes as a whisper for the very young and can be heard a city block away) "Hey Daddy, is that guy Santa Claus?"
We were the only customers in the store at the time, so I knew he was referring to me, and I answered him; "No, Kiddo, I'm his younger brother Cecil Claus. People get us mixed up all the time" The little guy's eyes got real big and his Dad was grinning, so i added; "You know, I was talking to my brother just last night and he told me that you had been a really good boy this year."
I smiled, wished them both a Merry Christmas and left the store.
So I leave it to you.................be honest now, do I look like Santa Claus to you?
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
