Thursday Two Questions Meme - Holiday Season Giveaway

I went to my local neighborhood mall yesterday to wander around and see the Christmas tree.  The stores were buzzing with excitement with lines of people checking off their holiday lists and children running around playing with motorized cars and toys.   What really struck me was the fact that Santa was all alone for a very long time.  He looks pretty lonely there doesn't he?
