At 56 he had thick, curly white hair and beard. So… when he got laid off he bought the reindeer, trained them to pull a sleigh and worked year round for the next 20 years. A bit disconcerting to see Uncle Ernie as Santa – from grumpy uncle to jolly elf – kinda like finding out your grand dad is a drag queen (don’t ask).

He was watering plants and humming to himself. He was happy enough to chat when I said hello. Said it was his part-time job, and he liked taking care of the lovely things. A asked if he made the rounds at the malls near Christmas, and he said no … he’d never want to get paid. He visited all the folks at the nursing home who never had visitors (“So said,” he cooed), and attended lots of parties. He grinned.

What would we do without the Santas!

I guess it’s to lessen the amount of houses he has to stop at on that “special” night.
