Santa is a Lunch Lady?!

Some of the more secular folks here are slowly starting to adopt a few of the typical Christmas traditions as a way to celebrate New Years.  In particular they sometimes give gifts, decorate a little tree, and talk about Santa Claus.  It's really weird.

Anyhow, you can't imagine my surprise when I got in the lunch line and saw this at the end...

Yep!  That's Santa down there serving lunch today!

Times are tight.  Apparently Santa had to get a side job.

Here's Lucy, with her dog, posing with two Santas and her classmates.  The Lunchman Santa still has on his plastic gloves.  And the other Santa is one of my forth graders.   I have no idea why he wore a Santa suit to school.  He must have the patience of Job because he kept that thing on all. day. long!  Again, the Santa thing is really weird here!  Ha!
