A visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus

Christmas really is a season of miracles.

I was sitting at my desk thinking how good I've been this year when suddenly I heard a jolly voice yell out my name.

I turned around and what to my wondering eyes should appear, but Santa and Mrs. Claus, both so very, very dear. He dropped by to confirm that yes, I had been good. I knew it!

During the year, Santa works here under the name Mark Cory. I love to see him pull out of the parking lot in his big vehicle. He told me that children go crazy when they see him roll around town.

Mrs. Claus is very supportive of her husband's work. She loves to accompany him to events and help him spread Christmas cheer.

After much demand from people who have seen him out and about, Mark has decided to finally give in and make himself available for holiday parties and other events. Obviously he's very busy over the next few days, but there's always next year. Believe it or not, he's already getting bookings for 2014.

If you're interested, he can be reached at 704-681-5063.

You don't have to tell him I sent you. He'll know.
