You know, Santa may run around the world in one night but, he works 365 days a year to be able to run around the world in one night!!! Fuel prices have been a drag.
Really love this shot, Michelle. It does remind me of a Norman Rockwell!!! Oh, Woman...blow this up and frame it! You really could be in advertising. :)
This score was FAR too low for this shot......
Shoulda asked Santa to strip and put a red bow on his whoha!!! ;)
Waaah! It's the only day of the year you even work, dude! I give the photo a 9 for all of it's qualities, but I give Santa a 1 for running an elf sweat shop and then whining about delivering the goods one day a year. :P
