Hello Santa! ~ A Musical Visit

Each December, we count ourselves lucky that Santa takes the time to visit our little yellow school.  Santa always tells us that Christmas would simply not be Christmas without a visit to our school.  Last year, December 2020, covid kept Santa from visiting yet he, Mrs. Claus and those rascally elves sent us a special delivery of treats from the North Pole.  The elves made gingerbread cookies and Mrs. Claus made us face masks to help keep us safe from covid.  They are always thinking about us.

Once December began, Santa was very much on our minds.  Would he be able to visit us this year?  One warm December day, we went outside for an outdoor music class at our soccer field. 

Off to our outdoor Music class!

Can you guess who was waiting to join us?

Who can it be?

It was..... SANTA!  What a surprise!

A little bird had told Santa that we were having an outdoor music class and he just had to come and join us.  Santa absolutely loves to sing and dance and we know all his favourite songs!  Let's go!

We sang so many songs for Santa and he loved all of them!  He even joined in with the singing and of course, he couldn't resist dancing! 

Santa had brought along his list so that he could check not once, but twice.  Thankfully we were all on the nice list.

It was so nice to see Santa and spend some quality time with him.

Santa had brought a basket of treats from the North Pole.  Mrs. Claus and the elves had sent us some freshly baked cookies and hot cocoa for snack!  Santa also brought us some sticker books.  Thank you Santa, Mrs. Claus and the elves! How thoughtful!

Just like that, our visit with Santa was over.  We were sad to see Santa go but we knew he had many things to do to get ready for Christmas. 

Thank you for stopping by Santa!

A Note of Thanks:  A huge THANK YOU goes to Mr. and Mrs. L.  This visit would not have been possible without them.  They truly made it special.  I first met Mrs. L. in 1992 during our days at Toronto Montessori School.  When I started my little yellow school in 1997, I knew Mrs. L. had to be a part of it.  She is our music teacher, our supply teacher and most importantly, a very supportive friend.  Mr. L. is wonderful.  He takes his role as Santa very seriously and is a natural.  All of us, including the teachers, thought we were seeing the real Santa.  He knew all of the children's names and took the time to speak to each one personally.  It was lovely.  Thank you Mr. and Mrs. L. for going above and beyond in making this visit a memorable one for the children.
