Photo Flashback Thursday


t's once again Photo Flashback Thursday, the one day of the week I set aside to look through my old pictures to find one to talk about.

This weeks picture was one that was taken Christmas Eve at my Dad's house. Santa Clause used to make yearly trips around East Gate and never failed to stop by the Hall household to visit all the good little girls and boys, maybe that is why Val is not in the picture...LOL

Chester was someone who work(s) with my brother in law George. On Christmas Eve because he and his wife didn't have any children of their own, he would take on the role of Santa Clause at East Gate. He would take time out to stop and most all of the houses that welcomed him and had eager children waiting to see Santa.

He had a big belt full of bells and you could hear them from a ways away, the looks on the kids faxes was priceless. Chester and his wife always came back down after his rounds and he was out of costume to visit and have a few spirits that Dad would have ready for him.

It was a great time.
