You'll need tissues, trust me.
THIS man embodies Christmas.
Eric Schmitt-Matzen is 6 feet tall, 310 pounds, and is every bit St. Nick as anyone could be. This professionally trained Santa is a mechanical engineer by trade, but at the holidays, he transforms into the real deal for about 80 gigs...
One of the best things (if not THEE best) about Thanksgiving is I get to catch up with these two crazy kids, my niece and nephew (technically they're my cousin's kids...but we're splitting hairs).
They live in Albany, so I don't get to see them as often as before...
Where can I take my kids to breakfast with Santa? Here we go, we've got you covered in your town or nearby!

Santa thought that before he started dropping off gifts, he'd make a stop in Buffalo because it has been so warm out he can do some water activities.
If you were along the Niagara River yesterday morning, you may have seen Santa doing some water skiing...
I'll never get tired of seeing these.

Trent Bakersville showed up at a mall where his 6-year-old daughter, Jordynn, was telling Santa what she wanted for Christmas...
Well, this will make your heart smile!
Mali Phoenix Williams-Cody, age 3, has visited the Cleveland Centre's special event days several times. I have some great photos of her at Halloween as well as Christmas. She came with her mum on Saturday to meet Santa...
Ever wonder how Ruldolph's story would have gone if the North Pole had a mafia lifestyle? Well this hilarious and dark interpretation of Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer answers that question.

Getting excited for Christmas? So are Santa and his reindeer! And the big man in red has a “reindeer cam” broadcasting live, so you can see what Comet, Dasher, Rudolph and the rest of Santa’s team are up to and even catch a glimpse of the jolly man himself!
