As He Drove Out of Sight

Uploaded: December 25, 2012

Description


Merry Christmas Everyone!!

Perception - Early Christmas morning, just before sunrise, Santa was spotted traveling at a very high rate of speed on his way back to the North Pole after a very busy night - Certainly in need of some well deserved rest....

Reality - "I like to think that the "Perception" is the reality so we will leave the story right where it is!
