Thank you for making me inhale my hot caramel macchiato into my nasal cavity this first way too early Monday of 2023. My nose was stuffed up but not any more 😅❤️💝😝
The idea of eating any kind of ice cream along with Margaritas is making me gag. Since it's cold may I suggest "special" hot chocolate or coffee? Or either of them, made "special" and blended with the ice cream? I'll taste test a few combos and get back to you.
Well, I have to say hands down that Lola is the cutest Santa I've ever seen. So would she be SaLola? SanLola? That one sounds like a town in Mexico. LoSta? Hmm, that last one sounds like she's lost a lot... 🤔 Well, you have a year to work on it James. 😆
Wow, I'm impressed. It seems Lola is the best person to save the day in emergencies and wonderfully manage the challenges ahead of her, just like recently with narrating.
When it comes to dealing with kids believing in Santa, I'm pretty sure you must've listened to Hancock's Half Hour - Bill and Father Christmas (Dec 25, 1958) [BTW, I love that radio comedy], because you have exactly the same reasons for revealing the gifter's as Hancok's dad - "He said he wasn't gonna lash out all that money and let somebody else take the credit for it".
Many years ago, Santa failed to show up for his duty at my family's get together. My mother convinced my husband to play the part, which we thought he did to great success for our 2-year-old and his cousins. Our 5-year-old niece did, however, pay particular notice to Santa's distinctive dress shoes (oops, forgot to change them) and later told Mr. P she knew it was really him but it was ok. Kids. Can't get away with anything.
Lola was most definitely an awesome looking Santa but I did wonder where the "belly like a big bowl of jelly" was. (Balking at that remembrance?) Regardless, breaking down barriers is always impressive!
I wonder if there's not a job share opportunity here. A Santa, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy triad where your wife could bring them all together and buy in bulk. Think of the savings. You're welcome.
Love it! One of my favourite Santa stories is that he showed up at our house (or Grandma’s, if we were there) every year until my oldest was about 9 or 10 (the other two are 1 year younger). And my kids have NO IDEA who actually came, so even though they don’t believe in Santa any more, they still feel a certain mystery around it. (It was a mix of people, including my husband when they were quite young).
I remember when my now 34 year old daughter asked me why women could not be President. She went on to become an attorney, but we still have no female President,
Happy new year. The bigotry you had to explain to your daughter about her not being able to be pope should be a serious wake up call to you. Why are you claiming to be religious in a time when religions have been fully exposed as scam organizations trying to control the masses?
What benefit is there to you or your family to be part of such a cult?
Distance yourself from them. If you still want to believe in a deity then that is your personal right. Not something you should be pushing on your children though. They should be allowed to mature and decide for themselves once they understand the evidence and lack of it on one side.
But belief in a deity is harmless - belonging to and following the tenets of ANY church or organised religion is extremely harmful.
I hope you can find your way clear - I realise it is not a simple thing to give up a lifetime of beliefs even when the evidence is so strong against those beliefs.
Happy New Year. Thank you so much for making us laugh and smile and for being so honest. Your sense of humor is exceedingly
... exceedingly delightful. Sorry I went over the word limit . I type sd much as I talk. 😅😜
Still chuckling... Shared the article on Facebook :D

Many are called, but few are frozen. Lola makes a Santa that shatters every trope and stereotype out there! She will inspire youngsters everywhere.

I agree other combos might be more traditional, but make substitutions at your own risk.

Oh, no. Now I have to do a whole rebranding campaign for her. I really didn't think this through.

Never heard the recording, but cheap dads think alike.
Oh I loved this! Go Lola!

😹😹😹 I love everything about this, and THANKS for including pix!!! (Real thanks of course to Lola for letting you.)

We've had a few in New Zealand. Quality has varied but all in all I'd say it's been a success.

Lola is awesome.
I need specifics on the flavors of ice cream and margaritas though...
