Must Be Santa

A popular children's Christmas song called "Must Be Santa" goes like this:

Who's got a beard that's long and white?
Santa's got a beard that's long and white.

Who comes around on a special night?
Santa comes around on a special night.

Special night, beard that's white,
Must be Santa must be Santa,
Must be Santa, Santa Claus.

Who wears boots and a suit of red?
Santa wears boots and a suit of red.

Who wears a long cap on his head?
Santa wears a long cap on his head.

Cap on head, suit that's red,
Special night, beard that's white,
Must be Santa must be Santa,
Must be Santa, Santa Claus.

Who's got a big red cherry nose?
Santa's got a big red cherry nose.

Who laughs this way:
HO HO HO?
Santa laughs this way:
HO HO HO!

HO HO HO, cherry nose,
Cap on head, suit that's red,
Special night, beard that's white,
Must be Santa must be Santa,
Must be Santa, Santa Claus.

Who very soon will come our way?
Santa very soon will come our way.

Eight little reindeer pull his sleigh,
Santa's little reindeer pull his sleigh.

Reindeer sleigh, come our way,
HO HO HO, cherry nose,
Cap on head, suit that's red,
Special night, beard that's white,
Must be Santa, must be Santa,
Must be Santa, Santa Claus.

Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen,
Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blitzen.

Reindeer sleigh, come our way,
HO HO HO, cherry nose,
Cap on head, suit that's red,
Special night, beard that's white,
Must be Santa, must be Santa,
Must be Santa, Santa Claus!

Well, my kids are well aware of the fact that Santa has many different helpers, and that sometimes, you just don't get to see the REAL Santa Claus.

But this year, The Dragon is convinced that we found the real one. I had to make a trip out to Valley Fair Mall, and while we were there, we noticed that the line to see Santa Claus was non-existant (holy cow!). I let The Dragon say "hello" and many hours after we left she told me that this particular Santa was the REAL ONE because "His face is so realistic!"

We've seen another Santa since then, and according to The Dragon, he just doesn't compare. Guess it goes to show that just because something fits the description, doesn't mean that it's the real thing!

Now, if only I could find a picture of the "real" Santa Claus!
