Celebrate Santa 2009, day 1

Santa is at the Celebrate Santa convention in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, and will be sending daily updates.

Greetings, friends and family, from the heartland of Shamrock and Holly and a sea of Green and Red! (Mostly red.)

Mrs. Claus and I arrived safely in Gatlinburg this afternoon, then had to wait two hours to get into our room.

You have never seen so many fat men with white beards and red clothes running around claiming to be me.

Made lot of new acquaintances. Renewed some old ones. It appears it is going to be bigger than the event in Branson in 2006.

No pictures yet -- it took over an hour to figure out how to work their internet connection here.

Will send an update tomorrow. Weather is promising to be in the 60s and sunny on Tuesday for the parade. It has got to be the Luck of the Irish, plus who wants to upset that many Santas????!!!!

Love,
Santa and Mrs. Claus
