My Santa Stud

I am going to pay dearly for this post.

This Summer my nephew ran in the "Spudman Triathalon" in Burley, Idaho. His wife titled the blog about it as "My Spud Stud". When Dave played Santa for the Griffiths family Christmas party I thought I should make a post about it and call it "My Santa Stud". Sorry to steal your idea Megan.

OK, now that you have fallen off your seats from laughter I will continue.

Dave says he wants to leave this life with anonymity, meaning he doesn't want to be on any blog or facebook page. He has even taped over his web cam on his laptop. Well, he has a lot of years of technology driven life ahead of him so I just don't see that happening. I thought I might as well get him started on the path to Internet stardom with his debut as Santa.

I thought he made a pretty good Santa, his cheeks were not quite rosy enough, and he was missing a cherry nose, an of course no pipe. But other than that he fit the Night Before Christmas Santa quite well. He really could have used some suspenders so his pants didn't fall down. We will have to work on that for next year. I don't think anyone heard the story about the hole in the toe of his boot. It was from burning it when he landed in a hot fireplace. And same thing with the patch on the seat of his pants!

Secretly I think he enjoyed it. He was pretty good with the kids, the "too big for Santa ones", the ones trying to pull off his beard, the one with the bottle, the crying one, and the ones that would not say a word! And he even danced, but no Santa Cat!
Thanks Chris for coming up with the outfit. I think the kids really liked having a visitor from the North Pole. Hopefully this will become a renewed tradition at the family party.

Anyway, I guess when you get to be our age and are as out of shape as we are being married to a Santa Stud is a pretty good thing! I wouldn't trade him for anything!
