We went to our local Vista Ridge Mall to visit “our” Santa last night. In the bottom picture, you can see him going over the Christmas lists they handed him. Santa told me that during the season, he usually loses about ten pounds because the suit is so warm, but he does his best to stay hydrated along with lots of vitamin C and B12.
Back in March, when he heard Vista Ridge Mall was facing foreclosure, our first thought was about this Santa. However, there was one new store in the mall, some kind of cat cafe. It looks like you can bring your cat in and drink coffee. But I also noticed the cutbacks in Christmas decorations. For instance, there was always a huge tree in the mall, but it’s no there this year. There used to be a bunch of poinsettias as well, but they are limited and are now artificial.
After visiting Santa, the kids played in the indoor play area. BoyGeeding walked over to me, pointed at a girl, and said, “Daddy, I really care for her. Do you think if I kiss her she will be my friend.” Hey kid, tap those breaks.
I’m surprised there are still stores, even seasonal, that specialize only in calendars. But then again, phone books are still around.
I’ve never played Cards Against Humanity, which can be downloaded for free, but it sure sounds fun.
Cards Against Humanity is one of the funniest things I have ever done. It's best in a group of 5 or more, especially after a couple of drinks. Don't play it with uptight people because it has lots of adult language. Unless you plan to get them drunk first so you can get them to swear. 🙂
I bet that line is for A Bridge Too Far, which delivered one of the best movie lines, ever.
[A hopelessly surrounded British soldier is approached by a German bearing a white flag who says he "wants to discuss surrender", and the Brit responds:]
"I'm sorry, but we haven't the facilities to accept your surrender."
This was evidently a true story, and if you know anything about Operation Market Garden, you know that took more guts than McAuliffe's "Nuts" at Bastogne.
