"We make boot prints in the snow and leave the gnawed carrots outside. Sometimes Santa accidentally leaves something behind like a glove and we have to put it in a package to be sent to the North Pole."
That's AWESOME! I've done some similar things, but for times like Easter w/ the Easter bunny. I'll have to do this sometime-that's awesome!
I had a neighbor once that had a daughter that wasn't really feeling the whole Santa Claus thing and to turn around her opinion, I stole a Neubian goat from a friends house, put a belled harness on it that wasn't built for the goat...it was interesting trying to get that thing to stay put, strapped on my friends mucking boots (they were like a size 11 or 12 mens and I'm a size 7 womens...no fun in the snow, lol) and walked that goat up the driveway (it was heated...so no prints) spooked it so it jumped into the yard from the driveway-I did the same and it actually looked liked we had "landed" in the yard! We walked across the front yard leaving our prints and let the prints disapear into the road. It was a lot of fun and she believed come next morning. She confessed that she had heard bells and got up earlier than usual and saw the tracks and poop (rofl, the goat had left his own presents in the snow!) and she was a believer again and it lasted for the next two years easy.
Simlar concept, but I didn't think to leave a glove!!! And then MAIL it back to him! That's awesome. |
