Description

"In Santa's Arms." A new addition to my "Philadelphians" collection. This photo was taken at the 2015 American Red Cross Eastern Pennsylvania Region's annual Holiday Party (for children who experienced disaster). This Santa is nearly 7 feet tall (just a guess). After his grand entrance he made his way quickly around the room, lifting lucky children to his face, in rapid succession. Hard to keep up with him with camera. Somehow this looks like a tender moment.
