Santa Time

I follow the Lowell Humane Society on Facebook and they recently hosted their annual Holiday Bazaar. I always thought I wouldn't bring the baby to meet Santa - I felt it was awful and kinda creepy and he would just cry. But...I guess...anything for a good cause, right? My Dad has been a huge supporter of Save the Children for years and I have always wanted to become more involved in charity work. If money wasn't an issue, I would love to volunteer instead of working full time. But alas...I do have to work, so when I can, I want to try to volunteer more of my time to causes that matter to me - and animals are a big one.

We headed down to the Lowell Humane Society for pictures with Santa this past weekend. I also donated a basket that was raffled off (delicious Godiva treats..yum!) and also WON a cool basket of holiday kitchen stuff. I was ecstatic - I never win anything! The pics with Santa were only $12, no waiting in line, no heading to the mall, and 100% of the proceeds benefit the Humane Society. As far as I'm concerned, it was a win all around. We'll definitely make this a yearly thing (until Nicholas tells us no - haha).

My Dad cracked me up with his response, writing... Slowly but surely you can see someone thinks santa is not my friend
