Santa's Adventures

A few weeks ago, some of Santa's helpers sent him a new suit to wear while in Japan. The little factory, located in a suburb of the North Pole called Roy, toiled many long hours to make the fit just right. It was shipped directly to Hokkyoku (North Pole), Japan, where a special needs school awaited a visit from Santa.

One little girl followed him around the school with a great big smile and kept trying to give him a hug. When he asked her "nani ga hoshii?" (what do you want [for Christmas]?) she didn't answer. After a little encouragement from one of the teachers, she said "I'm happy! I'm happy!" using Japanese Sign Language.
Later, Santa visited the LDS Nagano Japan Branch Christmas party. It just so happens that Santa Jr. was playing the part of Baby Jesus in the Christmas Pageant.

After the play, the two of them dished out some yuletide carols with little baggies of good cheer and then posed for a few pictures.


They were both quite popular at the party. A beautiful young lady (reportedly the mother of Santa Jr.) had her eyes on both Santas all night long. Eventually she made a move on big Santa.

Santa Jr. wanted in on the fun, and they ended up having a great time.
