Yup! And I think she's probably the last Kodachrome still around, at least from the SP.

Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus are PERFECT!

Not really; when I asked for a new Corvette last year, they both laughed at me. I figured as a Director at teh Museum, that might account for a little "pull" with Santa Claus, but no dice. Mrs. Claus told me she knew me too well to grant that wish. Oh well.

See, Coach is correct. They KNEW and they knew better than to give you one. PERFECT.

Now, see, I asked for a bottle of Tums for when I had to go begging for donations.....

Good choice, but how big a bottle of Tums did you ask for? Boxcar sized?

I'm always amazed at how many people show up for this event...

I've even seen babies all bundled up...everybody leaves with smiles...
