Santa Land

So, I've begun my new job at Santa Land in the mall where all the little kiddies get their picture taken with Santa. Apart from having the flu my first day; it's going well. This is not the first year I got to be one of Santa's elves. I did it a few years ago, and it was one of the most fun jobs ever! thus I'm back for another round. I love personally knowing Santa; it seems to have a prestige title among the Masses; well, at least to those who value childhood memories and happiness. We have 4 different Santa's who circuit our mall. some of them are more creepy than the others...

This year though, we have a mother daughter team running the show. they even employed their grandmother part time. Its no big deal, I understand people want to keep it in the family; but he issue is; the daughter is the manager and the mother is the assistant manager. And they fight. like demons. It is actually very awkward and embarrassing. I don't know what to do with myself when they start to fight. Santa and I just keep to ourselves and exchange *I'm-frightened* looks while they toil over their management and personal issues.

Then you have the strange mall goers. The mall-goer of the first day I wish to write about, was a teen boy who had aspergers? Not entirely sure; but definitely that or downs. Anyway; this boy visited Santa twice in half an hour. Each time running up to the gate with such speed, i was a bit scared; and waving like mad. Santa waved back in the same crazy fashion. Not making fun of the boy by any means, but still mimicking the eccentric action.

I look forward to tonight's ventures in Santa Land. perhaps I'll have another adventure to share tonight when I get home.
