M&F is a zoo since this is the last Santaland Christmas, but we did see the windows which were indeed 12 Days of Christmas. It'll be sad when M&F disappears and becomes Macy's.

We just avoided the whole topic and went to Pioneer Place; not many people know there's a Santa there, he's our, uh, Secret Santa. heh. The Santa was a little frazzled but very Santa-esque--real beard and all. Trying to get the girls to smile naturally he told them he heard they wanted a potato in their stockings, which made them giggle (and that's how we got the only half-way decent picture). So naturally we're putting a potato in their stockings this year.
