Many of the Littles from Big Brothers-Big Sisters of Chicago that have sat on Santa's lap over the years are now 13-14 years of age or so, and many look even older. Some now tower over Santa, but dutifully sit on his lap, carefully so as not to break the old guy's leg. This happens not without some prodding at times, but that whole sitting on Santa’s lap is kind of the gig. 

      

 

     

The Elves cajole, maybe juggle, mingle and entertain amongst the chaotic throng of kids who have been crazed by Santa, presents, sugary deserts, soda, and music. The jingling of antique sleigh bells accompanies the chaos the whole time.

Once Santa’s voice is hoarse from Ho Ho Ho-ing and shouting out “Merry Christmas” over the din of the assemblage, and he is perspiring profusely from the pillows duct taped to his belly to fill out his natural girth, and once all the kids have received their gift and had a moment with Santa it is time for Santa and the Elves to make their exit.

Until next year.
