Every year as per my family tradition I take a trip to visit Santa. I’ve been telling old Kris Kringle my Christmas wish list since I was just 9 weeks old! (although it appears I may have missed 2009…oops).

This year mom and dad decided to take me to the local mall during pet night to visit Santa.

When I arrived I wasn’t the only pup waiting their turn to see St. Nick, so I hopped in line and anxiously awaited my turn.

As us pups had to share Santa’s lap with all the boys and girls too the wait was quite long, luckily I was able to do some window shopping while I waited.

After about 2 hours (yikes!) I finally made my way to the front of the line.

I was quite patient as I practiced my sit and stay in the busy mall corridor.

As I inched my way closer to the “north pole” I could hardly wait anymore!

As you can see by the look on my face by the time it was my turn in Santa’s lap I was quite tired of this waiting game!

Finally it was my turn with the jolly guy, and let me tell you it was worth the wait.

I quickly told him what I wanted under the tree this year and sat for my obligatory photo, because we all know what you get AFTER visiting with Santa……cookies! (as you can see I’m already eyeballing them in the photo above!)

Merry Christmas from me and Santa!
