On November 17th, my cousin's photography business at the Back on the Rack store in Camden, Tennessee, asked me to pose for pictures with families. It was a wonderful opportunity to spread the joy of Christmas and bring smiles to everyone's faces.
​​
On December 1st, I was invited to spend the day with families​ at McKenzie Tennessee Economic Development's Polar Express event. The day was filled with joy and laughter as families enjoyed a train ride around town, a cookie decorating contest, and other exciting events.  One of the most memorable moments was when a young boy, who loved to be tickled by Santa, couldn't contain his laughter.  
​
On December 14th, I was invited​ by his aunt to meet a young boy whose hero was Santa Claus.  She had informed me that he had always dressed as Santa for Halloween.  He just loved Santa.  When I arrived, the look on his face was indeed priceless.  I had a wonderful visit with this young boy.  I was informed the following year that this boy and his family had gone to the Great Smoky Mountains for vacation, and when they were in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, they were smack dab in the middle of a Santa Convention.  This little guy was in heaven.  He had met all kinds of Santas.  She told me he had informed the Santas he had met that he had met the real Santa last year.  It is always heartwarming to hear about the impact I have on children and families, and how they cherish these moments.

On December 15th, Scouts Barbershop in Franklin, Tennessee, booked me through GigSalad to visit with their clients and take photos.

​

Also, on December 15th, myself, Mrs. Claus, and one of our elves, Emma, were invited back to enjoy another Customer Appreciation Christmas party given by Southside Cafe in Paris, Tennessee, once again.

On December 16th, I had the honor of visiting with the members of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church in Camden, Tennessee, once again. It was a beautiful reminder of the sense of community and togetherness that Christmas brings.
