(December 22, 2008) Dad started a tradition when Kyle was small, telling the story of how Santa Claus visits all the houses of children before Christmas to inspect the chimneys, to make sure they were okay to deliver presents. Dad would dress up in a full Santa costume and sneak up a ladder on the back side of the house while Karen would bring Kyle by the house. Dad would do this with Kyle until he was 9 or 10, until he realized that Pap Pap wasn't around when Santa was on the roof, so the last year for Kyle seeing Santa on the roof would be me on the roof and his Pap Pap by his side. This would be Christian's first year of witnessing Santa Claus doing his thing. Dad would take time away from his new "Buddy" and suit up and resume the tradition with Christian as we were leaving. Christian is usually intimidated at first with seeing things that mean a lot to him, and I thought the sight of Santa would scare him. Christian was actually happy to see him and actually waved to him. Reagan would see Santa on the roof as well as her Aunt Karen held her. Santa would give Christian the thumbs up, and Christian then knew that all would be well at Christmas.
