Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member 9:57am

My greatest Santa sighting was about 20 years ago when I worked in a group home for the developmentally disabled. There was a big Xmas party for all the residents from about 20 group homes. There was some food and dancing and then Santa came out of nowhere. The joint went ballistic. It was like an Elvis concert. It was an amazing energy. Pandemonium was running wild as The Hulkster says.

someone on this station a LONG time ago had a copy of something rankin bass put together before the rudolph special became what it was. probably pre archives. maybe ken knows....
