Santa, the Dandy

December 1, 1966, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern
I guess it was only a matter of time before Santa would succumb to the fashion of the day, in order to be perfectly coiffed for his adoring public.  Or maybe it was always like this and somehow his defenses were let down and he was caught by a wandering paparazzo during this tonsorial procedure.  Needless to say, it wasn't his best moment, but one that most kids will forgive him for.  This blog reporter remembers his own Mom being seen in public with curlers in HER hair and no one was hurt and only a little bit of pride was numbed by the experience, mostly his own.  So, Santa we forgive you this sartorial lapse and understand that you must do what is necessary in order to maintain appearances.  After all, Christmas comes but once each year and we DO want you to be feeling your very best.  Besides, we're told that being polished and groomed DOES make the man.  And Santa, you are SO the man.
