the kids have been asking to visit their friend santa for a while now, so we stopped by yesterday (we went to the one at the plaza hotel, keeping with tradition!) samson walked straight up to him, “hey santa! i have an elf hat. like the elves in the north pole!” he also asked to “sit on santa’s lap for 3 minutes.” when i said, “sure, you can sit on his lap for a minute…” he cut me off with, “no, 3!” while showing me three fingers in the air!...
