Thought you might like this Ottawa Citizen article on area Santas. Sadly, neither the Bayshore nor Hazeldean Santas were profiled, but still interesting.

You always have such a way of describing these special moments with your boys. I have dial-up so the photos load s.l.o.w.l.y….I just knew there would be a magical picture to follow. Thanks for the happy Christmas tears!
Merry Cristmas

Hazeldean Santa is the MOST wonderful Santa EVER!

My daughter is 10 and my son is 7 years old and this is the only Santa they have ever been to. Every year, whatever I scribble on the paper when I register, he mentions to them therefore personalizing their visit. This year, it was about their special night-night babies. They couldn’t wait to tell Daddy that Santa asked how Betsy and Blue were.

Last year, Santa said out loud after he had finished with the kids “Janie, have you been a good girl? Remember I’m watching…” My kids were in awe! (He heard my girlfriend call me by name. )

This year, I went up after the kids were done and told him he was the most incredible Santa! I love Christmas.

I love that shot with Lucas, so sweet!

As for us, we had a pretty good visit with our Santa, but I did have to get in the photo in order to get my toddler in the shot. While our Santa was good, he was definitely not that skilled. Sadly, Kanata is maybe a LITTLE far for me to travel, since I live in Vancouver and all.

That’s wonderful. I’ve heard great things about that mall’s Santa (same one each year?)! We haven’t gone yet but are going to be in Kanata tomorrow. Thanks for deciding for us where we’re stopping on the way to swimming!!

welcome to our blue-tree group! We’ve gone to see him I think every year but one – and regretted that one. Glad he treated you well.

Wow! that’s a pretty impressive Santa you’ve met there! This story almost brought me to tears – of joy of course (pregnancy…).

Hee – you know what’s funny; we actually met Bayshore Santa this summer at his day job…
