Santa Claus dropped by the Ranchland Mall on Friday, December 13.  He reported that he had been very busy, tending the reindeer and preparing for Christmas.  Even with his busy schedule he took the time to visit with the kids.

Some children were a little hesitant, but the big guy took it all in stride, and everyone got a candy cane.

Score!

"All of the reindeer are healthy, and everything's right on schedule," he said about preparing for Christmas.

He said that in Pincher Creek, there were very few on the naughty list.  In fact, there was only one he could name without consulting his list.

After visiting with the children, taking a tour through the mall, and visiting with staff and patrons at Mrs. P's, Santa had to leave.  He said that he will try to visit in the town of Pincher Creek, and will be back for Christmas.

Merry Christmas from the staff at Mrs. P's
