an unexpected surprise

When I left my house this morning for my walk, I headed up the hill as I usually do.  Suddenly, I heard someone saying good morning.  So I turned around to say hi and was surprised at who I saw.  I laughed and said, "I wasn't expecting  to see you today."  He laughed and said that "he had some things to check on before his big trip." A quick photo so I would know that it wasn't a dream and off we went to begin our day

    What a nice surprise! One of my blog friends saw Santa in an adjacent car in traffic, put down her window and told him she wanted diamond earrings!!!!!
    I hope you put in your request.

    Certainly a friendly neighbour, and a busy one! The best surprise is unexpected. Many thanks for your encouragement on my hiking blog. One way or another, the exercise should be very healing!!

    He must be a real Santa 'cause I can see his twinkly eyes! What a fun apparition first thing in the morning.

    He must be able to send multiple copies of himself so he can be everywhere at once!

    Merry Christmas!

    Nice to see the old chap in town, but wouldn't that suit get soggy in Irish winter weather?
