strange happening!

[Ken Moffat]

Speaking of Santa, a strange thing happened last night. (Christmas eve)  
We were done eating and thinking about presents, waiting for one more 
kid to show, when up drives a van in our driveway and out steps Santa 
Clause, complete with red suite, great beard and bag full of candy 
canes. He comes to the door, and we can't figure out who it is. We tell 
him he probably has the wrong house, but he says, "Does it matter?" He 
comes in, passes candy canes around, (gives me a broken one, saying I've 
not been a good boy,) and sits down. We wait for our late arriving 
little one to show, which is the son of a daughters fiance, which is 
perfectly timed for about 2 minutes later, and wow, is he excited to see 
a 'real' Santa. He sits on Santa's lap and gets a candy cane and then 
Santa, having apparently fulfilled his assignment, gets up, lets out 
some hohoho's and leaves.

This was a very strange happening. We never did find out why he came to 
our house or where he really belonged.

I'll take it as our own little Christmas miracle. They won't make a 
movie of it but it was definitely out of the ordinary.
