This Christmas break has been one of the best I can remember. It was our first married Christmas together and that made things even more wonderful. One of the highlights of the break was that Brian played Santa for our ward Christmas party! He was a wonderful Santa with blue eyes, blonde eyebrows and a pale complexion. And none of the kids new him so that added a measure of authenticity. The only thing that might have given him away was his energetic entrance that probably would've given a man who's "as old as time" a heart attack.

I loved watching him with the kids, a very long line of them, as he asked them their names and what they wanted for Christmas. One girl asked for a whole list of items. Not wanting to send the child's parents into panic by promising to deliver the whole list, St. Brian told the girl he would bring her a surprise for Christmas. Brian was cheery and excited for each child in that long line.

And I was quite proud to be Mrs. Claus.
