That was me, with Joe. He didn't know a stranger and always made people laugh. I was happy to sit back and just watch!! Another fun Hodgepodge, Joyce, and that picture of your new little man with Santa is beyond precious! xoTerri Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333024343069943295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-55365443146360856902022-11-30T19:22:39.731-05:002022-11-30T19:22:39.731-05:00Your grandson is adorable!

I think it's my social anxiety defense mechanism and I start to convince myself that I don't even want to go. Oddly I hosted more parties than we attended in our early years of kids and I'm not 100% sure that I enjoyed those anymore than I enjoy attending! LOL. Luckily we're rarely invited to parties so it doesn't come up often. I'm pretty sure that is the real Santa too; what a gorgeous Santa suit!Joanne https://www.blogger.com/profile/01212516924342195282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-76880130081561058352022-11-30T11:46:11.524-05:002022-11-30T11:46:11.524-05:00Hi Joyce,

It comes to mind because of how nice the Santa looks in the photo you shared with your grandson.<br />When our boys were little, we had a local Christmas doings to go visit Santa and drop off a letter. Well, the Santa wore his real own grown beard and he was a smoker, so his beard was not nice and white like the one in your photo. What a handsome Santa your grandson got to visit. <br />Anyway my boys did not like the Santa and we laugh about it now. ;-) Carla from The Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107829617899979937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-75047243075206343632022-11-30T11:20:53.062-05:002022-11-30T11:20:53.062-05:00First of all, I love that picture of Santa and you...First of all, I love that picture of Santa and your grandson...so adorable!
