Still merry, still (more or less) bright…
Yep, that's me circa 1969, posing for a photo on Santa's knee. It would be first of seven photos taken with the old fella (and one of the first laps belonging to strange men in which I'd find myself sitting over the years, a practice that happily continues). You can see the whole gallery of my visits with Santa on Flickr.
As you read this, I'm celebrating Christmas in the Land That Dial-up Forgot with my mother, a warm hearth, a lovely tree and enough food to feed a platoon, should you know any Marines you'd like to send my way. From my ancestral home to you and yours, a very Merry Christmas!

I wonder how many children still take this kind of photos these days. I am a bunch of them from when I was little, but I don’t see this scenario happening very often, maybe with the Santa from the Mall, which makes it less interesting. I am sure that some parents are still respecting this tradition and many more should.
