Christmas Memory: The Dancing Santa & Grandpa Roy

Grandpa Roy loved Santa Claus and loved to collect any type of Santa. Approx 15 years ago we were shopping with the family in Las Vegas at one of our favorite malls the Gallaria Mall. We were walking through Mervyn's window shopping. As we walked along we noticed people walking by a display of Christmas decorations and giggling. As we got closer we could hear "JingleBell Rock" and laughter. The we saw him.... Santa doing a dance singing "JingleBell Rock". Grandpa just had to have one for his very own. We all started to tease him and laughing and giggling. No amount of teasing could prevent Santa from coming home with us. He was proudly displayed each Christmas afterwards. The laughing, giggling have continued on.


The Dancing Santa

What is Santa doing???

We can dance just like Santa.



Dave found this Santa at the thrift store this past week. He has been bringing home new Christmas treasures to add to our collection. He spotted the Dancing Santa and knew it had to come home. The kids sat around the Christmas Tree and Dave told them the story of Dancing Santa & Grandpa Roy. They then had to try and dance the same way. Amazing after 15 years the laughter and giggles are starting with the next generation.
