Mall Santas
J.B. Trepagnier - 2019
Until last year. Last year, I was supposed to get married in Vegas at the stroke of midnight on Christmas day. I had the perfect wedding planned. If only I’d picked the perfect fiancé. I caught him in our bed with some blonde two days before the wedding and now I’ve turned into Scrooge.Everyone is used to my epic Christmas cards, but I can’t come up with an appropriate theme this year. We have one of the biggest malls in the country and they decided to allow dogs in for Santa photos. I was a little bummed the fire department was supplying the Santas instead of getting a photo of my pit bull with someone who really did look like Santa.That is, until my Santa is drop dead gorgeous and treats my dog well. A balloon pops and spooks my dog. Queenie bolts and gets lost in sea of Christmas shoppers in a hug mall. Cue four hot firemen dressed as Santa to my rescue. They all really want to help find my dog. They are treating this like a covert, black ops mission. They are all so sweet too.If we can find my dog, I intend to invite them back home for a home cooked meal. They all have to work on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Maybe I can have a better Christmas than last year and make the holidays better for four great guys who do so much for the community.
Proceeds from Mall Santas will be going towards the rescue I adopted my own goofy pit bull from 2 days before Christmas 6 years ago. They took in a lot of sick kittens during kitten season and have a large tab at the local vet. My contact at the rescue advised the donation would be best used by going directly towards their vet bill and the vet also had a fundraiser set up in their name
