Henry met greatness today. Santa came to visit the cubscouts. He was a pretty great Santa too. I could see the tension building in Henry. Nora just completely refused to go anywhere near him. Henry knew that it wasn't the real Santa... but it WAS Santa's helper and I think that the direct connection was almost too much for him to bear. He went right to the back of the line. I saw him fiddle with his hands while he waited. When he got there, next to the one that judges him to be worthy or not, he kept his eyes averted, his voice was so low that Santa had to ask him twice what he wanted. He was nervous... I know what he really wanted: Skylanders (I am betting that Santa has that in the bag for him this year anyway btw) but instead of telling him what he really wanted, he went with what the kid ahead of him went for: Pokemon.
He was actually pale when he walked away.... I could read his thoughts right from off of his face, "thank god that is over."
Santa has some serious power.
