AL PRINCIPIO DE la carrera profesional de San Geraldo, comenzó una tradición de vestirse como Papá Noel en las fiestas de las Bibliotecas. Los invitados pagarían $1 para sentarse en el regazo de Papá Noel y tomarse sus fotos. Todo el dinero recaudado iría a una organización benéfica preseleccionada. Estas fueron las únicas veces en mi vida que tuve que sentarme en el regazo de Papá Noel. (El regazo de San Geraldo es otra historia).

DeleteAs you well know, the naughty list is sometimes the best place to be. Hope you're recovering well and happily from New Year's Eve.
Happy New Year to Dudo and Moose - and please pass on my wishes to Mitch and S.G. if you have time between all the bird- and mouse-watchings :-)
ReplyDeleteRay:
DeleteMoose and Dudo both greeted me this morning with your good wishes. Moose then went back to bed and Dudo posted himself at the drain hole! Wishing you a happy, healthy 2018.
San Geraldo does make a convincing Santa Clause. Happy New Year to both of you.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteHe required a lot of padding in those days, but he did a great job. Our friend's 4-year-old daughter arrived at the Yale party that was held in the Rare Books Library to see Santa. She saw him from across the room in that brilliant costume and said to her mother, "That's Jerry." Her mother explained that Jerry was helping Santa and asked how she knew it was him. She said, "His eyes."
I hope you were a good boy, in all the right ways!
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteI'm always good. Not always nice, but always good.

ReplyDeleteWhat a good pair you guys make! Happy New Year!!
Jim:
DeleteWhat do you mean "look like"? It was the late '80s. I WAS 12 — more or less.
