Building tip feedback wanted? No thank you, but thank you for hosting such a fun challenge. It really made me happy to build this!
When I was a child I didn't believe in Santa Claus. When I was VERY young my father said to me, "There's no such thing as Santa! I'm the "MFer" who puts in the overtime at the truck plant and your mother and I buy your gifts." (sorry, but that's what he said...he was a blunt man) Ironically, today would have been his 67th birthday if he were still alive. I'll be 47 years old this Friday, and looking back, I understand why he said it and I'm not traumatized over it. In addition, my Mom was a practicing hardcore Evangelical and Santa didn't have much of a place in our Christmas traditions. I still always enjoyed watching other kids, who did believe in Santa, meet him to have their pics made and to tell him what they wanted for Christmas. I might have been jealous of their excitement. I loved how there would always be a backdrop with a fireplace, decorated tree and piles of presents. I appreciated the work that went into the decorating and also the kindness and patience that was always exhibited by the person playing Santa. So that is why I incorporated the special area of Gingerbread Cafe just for Santa's meet and greet.
