Who Knew...Stopping To Look At A Multimedia Art Table Could Lead To A Ten Minute Chat With Santa?

 My wife and I did a little shopping this afternoon. We stopped at the Logan Utah Hobby Lobby--a finer craft store does not exist. It was there I spotted a multimedia art table we thought might be something our daughter might want.

I stopped to look at it (there were actually two models...) and that's when I heard someone say, "That's what Santa wants for Christmas."

That's not something you hear everyday.

I turned and standing in the aisle was a man, with a broad face and a round little belly. The full beard gave it away...this was Santa (off-season Santa, of course...). We ended up chatting for about ten minutes. He talked about things he told kids as a symbol of Christmas. He also told me of possible Christmas plans in the grand hamlet of Logan this coming winter.

Sounds like fun.

No, it's not everyday you run into Santa (off-season Santa, of course...) at a craft store in Northern Utah. But, when it happens, it's fun.

What Did That Paper Sack Ever Do To Him...?

We have a puppy living in our house. If you've ever had a puppy living in your house, you know how they act, you know the things they do, you know it's an adventure and rarely a dull moment. You also know that puppies like to destroy things...basically anything they can sink their teeth into.

I'm not sure how we found out about our puppy's hatred toward paper sacks. I think he snagged a sack off of our kitchen table. That's not unusual--he snags several things from places he shouldn't be snagging. But it was what he did after he removed the sack from the table that made us stop and watch what he was doing.

In short, he shredded the sack. 

I mean, he really shredded it.

When he completed the shredding, the paper carnage surrounded him all over the floor. It was a sight to see. Yesterday, after we finished putting away all our groceries, several emptied sacks were around the kitchen. I tossed him one, took out my camera, and began filming. The entire film was too long to post here, so I chopped it up into three shorter videos. 

So, I present to you three short films, I call...
