Mama Noodles - Santa Eats Pizza Too!

The other morning, the kids and I were in the parking lot of the grocery store loading up the trunk.  All of a sudden, my son turned to me and whispered, "Mama!  It's Santa Clause!"  I quickly turned expecting to see Chris Kringel with his red suit get up, but to my surprise, it was only a man with blue jeans, a red sweater and a green turtle neck walking into the local pizza place.  I was confused because I only saw the man from behind, but my son was convinced.  He was jumping out of his skin.

We decided we would wait until the man came out of the pizza place just to make sure. After all, my son recently declared that he wants to be an elf when he grows up because, "They get to use real tools when they make toys."  So, we were convinced that Santa was in a disguise "getting pizza" because he was checking my son out.  You know, to see if my son was REAL elf material.  Why else would he be here?  

As we nonchalantly waited by the car for this stranger to come out of the pizza place, I told my son that if he wanted to be an elf, then he would probably have to let his ears grow.  He said he was totally fine with it.  Now that is real commitment to excellence.  

All of  sudden, Chris Kringel or Santa or whoever it was, came out with a wrapped up slice of pizza.  I think at that point my jaw fell to the floor because it actually looked like Santa Clause himself.  The white hair, the beard and the glasses.  It was crazy!  The man must have thought we were insane because we just completely without even trying to hide it, were staring at him......And then, he smiled.  I have to say, it was pretty magical.


On our way home, with our hearts full from seeing Santa, my son once again made a good point, "Mama, I think Santa is here to get his belly bigger.  So that's why he eats pizza."  

He's probably right.

Oh my goodness, this is the cutest story ever! You have a smart son. Elena, you should try this: get glitter and dry oats (granola, cereal, whatever) and tell Trey it's reindeer food. You sprinkle a trail outside your house to the chimney so that the reindeer know how to find your house. He will love it.

    Welcome to the Noodles On The Wall Blog, a place where I share the trials and tribulations of a creative noodle maker. (That's me!) My life is full of noodles and I've learned it takes a dash of inspiration and a pinch of creativity to throw them up on the wall to see if they stick. Hope you stick around!
