Have you seen the movie A Christmas Story?  There is a famous scene in which the little boy visits Santa at Higbee’s Santaland.  Here I am with Santa at Higbee’s in 1950 or 1951.

The truly unusual thing about this picture is that I am by myself.  Mother usually took us children together, and we were photographed as such.  For some reason I was there that year as the representative for the whole family.  Mother retold the story of this visit often:

She said I started out by saying, "Billy asked me to tell you what he would like."  I then listed 3 items that my older brother had mentioned to me.  Then I said, "And my little brother asked me to ask you for these things."  And I told him the 3 things my younger brother was hoping for.  At this point, Mother said, Santa leaned back and turned me a little so that he could make eye contact. 

"Honey," he said, "don't you want anything for yourself?" 

Life was good, and I couldn’t think of a thing.

Since neither of my brothers had asked for a bb gun, Santa apparently didn't feel the need to give me the safety advice he gave to the boy in the film, and I was sent on my way.

We saw Santa and loved it!! We asked for special santa. There was a very short line then we sat with santa.. The kids loved the experience. #santaclaus #specialsanta #macyssantaland #santaland #blacksanta #merrychristmas #34thstreet

I had two people say that to me today. “I'm going to have you fired.” Go ahead. Be my guest. I'm wearing a green velvet costume. It doesn't get any worse than this. Who do these people think they are? “I'm going to have you fired,” and I want to lean over and say, “I'm going to have you killed.”
