Will the Fat Man Deliver?

We were in a strip mall getting our Christmas Honey Ham, and some Rapid Refill ink.  Children, cops, and a film crew were milling about.  While in the ink store, I asked the Rapid Refill guy, "What's with the camera crew?"  He said, "Santa is jumping out of a plane, and landing on the strip mall roof at 2:00."  Since it was 2:02, we stayed around to see what would befall Santa.

Red herring.

There arose a clatter, and there was Santa, floating down from the heavens.



Since it was really windy, he landed hard, and was dragged across the roof.  All you could see was the parachute blowing around. Santa never waved to his fans from the roof.

We waited around for 15 minutes and still no Santa.  The crowd began drifting away.  Luckily, there was an Emergency Care Center in this particular strip mall.

Was Santa taken there?

Will Santa do some good, for goodness sake?

I guess we'll find out tomorrow.
