Santa Clause and The Easter Bunny Live Here

No shit.. . .. They really do. In a week that headlines for the real world read: Islamist militant/freedom fighter/ Syrian rebel desecrates enemy corpse... U.S. fashion companies promise $.50 per t-shirt to secure the future of workers in Bangladesh. I just want to offer the following... I'm sure there is a nationwide, or even worldwide Easter Bunny. However there is a tiny older woman in our community who holds an Easter egg hunt the Saturday before Easter for local children, all ten of them. She dresses as a bunny, hides eggs and does not speak...at all. The rest of the year, she walks her Newfoundland on a circuit of town, daily. This alone would not be particularly amazing. However, in addition Santa Clause lives here. He works at our local hardware store. His name is Al. He is the most authentic Santa ever. He stopped by our house last Christmas Eve, and I am sure we have a life long believer. If Santa is an idea Al is the embodiment of it. Sure he is payed for his efforts, and his absolutely perfect look. But Damn. Al has a real beard, and a dapper ermine trimmed suit. He is not portly, nor svelte. He is one jolly dude. And he will sell you plumbing supplies, with a knowing wink. I'm not nuts, I know these people are not the real Ester bunny or Santa. But if there were a real Easter Bunny, or Santa, I can say unequivocally, they would live in Duck. It just makes too much sense. Photo Evidence:
