Here's proof that Santa DOES start his rounds in the Bay Area. Nellie and the editor caught Santa this afternoon near Hallmark Park before setting off on his journey to spread joy to the world.
The only thing missing was the sleigh and the eight tiny reindeer---he was in a blue Saturn chauffeured by Mrs. Claus, and seemed more than happy to have Nellie join him on his travels.
Merry Christmas to all....and to all a good night.
