We had a 1 p.m. reservation and arrived a few minutes early, but got seated immediately in the upscale steakhouse. I had cashed in $120 in comps for the buffet meal which featured carving stations of ham and turkey, an elaborate seafood selection with shrimp, crab and scallops, about a dozen side dishes, mashed potatoes, apple spiced dressing and some 20 different desserts.
Just a couple tables away was Santa Claus, obviously in need of a good meal after his night of flying around the world delivering toys and other treats to good little girls and boys.
He and Mrs. Claus pounded down a couple of mimosas before bellying up to the buffet. And, in a touching scene, a little girl, maybe 5 or 6, went over to his table and thanked him for delivering presents at her home. The Jolly Old Elf gave her a little necklace and she was thrilled. Nice job, Santa!
And so our adventure continues...
