We met Santa at Macys!
The first day we tried to go, the line was close to 3 hours long. So we skipped it. We waited till Thursday morning, and waited outside Macy's at 9:51am. The doors opened one minute early, allowing us to race to the elevators and be the first people on the 5th floor. Standing outside the door to Santa's house, we sang along to the music on the intercom and talked with the other family brave enough to get up super early and make their way down town to see Santa. They traveled almost an hour! Macy's is one block away from us, how fun it was to not have to worry about parking and traffic!
The doors opened and we were led by the elves through corridors filled with displays and Christmas magic. Winter scenes of ice skating and frosty, huge trees and decorations and finally the man himself. And a really good Santa too- he had a real beard.
I asked him if he was comfortable holding babies. He said yes. I asked one more time to be sure and Cassidy said, "Mom, it's Santa!". Meaning of course he likes babies. So I snapped my pictures, the elves took theirs and we were all happy. I was not happy with the button with the sharp pin Santa gave out- no candy canes here. Just an "I met Santa" pin. I promptly took that away once we were back in the elevator. Savannah did not like Santa. He didn't really speak much so I can't blame her. It's possible Santa had not had his first cup of coffee yet. We were early! But all in all, it was a great visit!
