I Just saw Santa at the Grocery Store

I just got back from the grocery store and guess who was in front of me getting checked out? It was Santa, he was the picture perfect little old man with snow white hair to his shoulders a full bushy beard that covered his face with small oval gold rimed glasses; he was wearing his favorite red hat because it had the worn and wind whipped look; he was wearing a comfortable silky red running suit bottom with a blue and green sweatshirt and black tennis shoes. He was buying a few bags of carrots, Oats, some other fruit, a mega bag of cookies, a gallon of milk and some steaks. Of course I said "Hi, I always wondered where you shopped" to which he replied "Giant Eagle is my favorite grocery store". I said "Well good luck with the weather this year" to which he replied "No problem, I have Rudolf". He told me to "Keep up the good work" and I replied "It will be my pleasure" to which he nodded and said "That's what has always kept me going".
The other folks in the line were chuckling good heartily at our conversation but it made me feel good that the big man is keeping tabs on me. What a treat is was for me; miracles happen everyday and sometimes they happen at a grocery store.

Tis the season!
