Merry Christmas From Santa Jason
For all the kids who love reading the blog, I ask you to skip this entry. I know, it’s hard. You need your daily dose of DeRusha. This one’s for the adults.
This Saturday, WCCO had it’s annual holiday party for kids. It’s a great time, and extremely nice that the station hosts the party. My two kids had a great time. Well, at least until this moment: 
Yes, that’s Seth recoiling in horror. And take a close look at Santa. He may look a little familiar to you. 
I’m not sure why Santa needs a giant fake nose. My WCCO co-worker, Nate Molenda, is in charge of Santa’s wardrobe. He bought a new nose this year, and it still has that new nose look to it.
Oh, and don’t worry about Seth. He and Santa hugged it out. 
Favorite moments from being Santa:
Santa: “What would you guys like for Christmas?” Two kids: “We’re Jewish.” Santa: “Santa loves Jewish kids too.”
Kid: “Are you real?” Santa: “What do you think? I’m right here.”
Santa: “I understand you played baseball this summer.” Esme Murphy’s son: “How did you know that?” Santa: “Your mom sits across from me at work, and I hear all of your phone conversations.” Ah, just kidding. I said, “Santa knows.”
Seth asked for just two things: a book and underpants. Sweet. I hope his list is this short FOREVER!
