Above and beyond the call of "Santa duty"

I visited Holiday World on July 4th and wanted to let you know how wonderful my experience was.

We had a typical day at the park and as you know were rained out later in the afternoon (which was a little disappointing).

We ran to the gift shop for shelter from the storm (the lightning and thunder were very frightening). I have a 2-year-old and 5-year-old daughters who were nervous and scared. The power flickered on and off several times which added to their anxiety.

Santa was wonderful!!! When he realized the kids were restless and scared he called out into the gift shop and offered to read the kinds "'Twas the Night Before Christmas."

About 10 children and parents sat around Santa (my older daughter Kristen even got to sit on his lap and help him turn pages) as he read the story. It was delightful. He went above and beyond the call of "Santa" duty. He was just wonderful.

The kids were so happy to get some special time with Santa and I am sure it is something they will never forget. Thank Santa for us - and let him know I hope someone fills his stocking extra special this Christmas.
