Nobody Puts Santa Baby in a Corner

I have a plastic Santa from the 60s that is suppose to light up when he's plugged in but I need to get the cord redone.  In the meantime, I brought Santa into the house today and gave him a little sponge bath.  Nate was cautiously intrigued with this plastic Santa, given his history with St. Nick.  Santa is less than 1 foot shorter than Nate so they look like playmates when standing side-by-side.  At one point this afternoon, Santa fell over and made a loud noise on the kitchen linoleum.  I may have mentioned before that my son is  not a big fan of loud noises.  This didn't seem like it was extra loud but it still sent Nate into a tizzy and he clung to my neck for dear life.  I told Nate he didn't have to play with Santa any more and I turned Santa away so that we/Nate didn't have to look at him.  It wasn't until a little while later did I realize how funny Santa looked standing on the floor -- doesn't it look like Santa is having a Time Out?  Ohh, maybe he's been naughty.  Now wouldn't that be ironic....

Bad santa. He totally looks like he's having a time-out. I was thinking that before I even read your post!
