Hick played Santa again on Tuesday. This time it was for 6-9 year old special needs kids from a school two districts over. The venue was over in Bill-Paying Town, not at a school Hick usually visits.
"I'm a little nervous about going to a place I haven't been. I don't know what kind of room they'll have for me to change. And I'm not driving over there wearing my suit."
"I guess at least there will be a bathroom."
"Yeah, but I don't want to put on my suit in a bathroom! You don't what it'll be like."
I never heard about the changing room, but Hick had a good time.
They really had a nice set-up for Hick. He might look like a fake figure here, but I guarantee you it's Hick. Let's zoom in...
That's our guy! Hick cleans up pretty well. He said there were 70-something kids.
"They lost one little boy! Looked all over for him, and found him sitting in a corner. I guess he didn't like all the activity. He come in wearing headphones. They all came up to talk to me and get a present. But I run out! Only on the last three. I still had a couple of things in my bag. But the last little girl didn't want it. She took the rest of my candy canes, and was happy with 'em.
After it was over, I was walking out, wheeling my suitcase with my suit in it. A little girl come up and said, 'Hi. What's in your suitcase?' I told her I was going on a trip. She said, 'Santa was here!' And I said, 'REALLY? I wonder where he is,' and I looked around. She didn't have no idea it was me."
Santa was rewarded with a gift card for our local catfish restaurant, where the teacher who arranged this used to work as a waitress while going to school for a teaching degree. No cookies and milk for OUR Santa! He loves catfish.
