santa claus is coming to town!

yesterday, on our drive to my parents house, deep in rural kentucky, we passed a buggy. it almost looked amish, until we got closer and saw a head of bouncy white hair topped with a red and white cap. as we passed it, i looked at the driver and realized it was santa! the man himself! standing upright in a black buggy, pulled by a ribbon-bedecked horse! he was driving on a road that could barely be called “two lane,” bordered on one side by the side of a mountain and on the other side by a series of houses that … weren’t necessarily large. it’s nice to know santa comes out this far–he was two days early, so… maybe he has to get a head-start to get all of these houses on the back roads.
