Nancy Watkins went back to 1956 for a Dec. 8th picture of Santa Claus with a young Craig Parfitt of River Grove. It was taken at Midway Airport.
Of course, Santa is quite the busy old guy right now. A few facts:
1841-- first sighting of Santa Claus at a store--but he was supposed to be on the roof.
1890-- first department store Santa in Brockton, Massachusetts according to answerboy.com.
256.89 pounds-- average weight of a member of the Amalgamated Order of Real Bearded Santas.
8.3-- age at which average American gives up on Santa.
McNeil Nutritionals --(Makers of Lactaid)--company that announced in 2005 that Santa was lactose intolerant (Who'd a figgered that!!).
HOH OHO-- Santa's postal code at the North Pole according to the Canadian postal service.
