				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>December 6 – Santa Claus<br />
Did you ever send a letter to Santa? Did you ever visit Santa and “make a list?” Do you still believe in Santa Claus?</strong></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t ever remember going to see the &#8220;Mall Santa&#8221;.  Probably because that cost money.  Our elementary school had a Christmas party, complete with Mr. and Mrs. Claus.  I don&#8217;t know if they&#8217;re allowed to do that anymore, are they?</p>
<p>This is a picture of me (on the floor), my sister Andrea and brother David.   Love the shag carpet and just noticed that Santa is in black tennis shoes and plastic &#8220;boot&#8221; leggings. <img src='http://www.climbingmyfamilytree.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />   This must have been taken in December of 1982, making me 6 years old.</p>

<p>Last Christmas, we took the kids to see the REAL Santa Claus at the Santa Claus house in North Pole, AK.  They unfortunately weren&#8217;t in the best of moods, but oh well.</p>
<p><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="Santa2web" src="http://www.climbingmyfamilytree.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Santa2web.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="1204" /><img class="p3-insert-all size-full aligncenter" title="santaweb" src="http://www.climbingmyfamilytree.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/santaweb.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="531" /> I wish that I had some of the Christmas lists I sent to Santa.  I&#8217;m sure there was some really cool stuff on there!  I have made sure that I&#8217;ve saved the lists that my kids have made, because I&#8217;m sure that they will enjoying reading them 50 years from now. <img src='http://www.climbingmyfamilytree.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
