He’s a good guy, tell him that Tim Kelley (the tall guy who used to work with him) sent you guys.

I followed him over from Tysons II about 10 years ago. I have pictures of that specific Santa going back almost 20 years. He is the first Santa that my son didn’t flip out and have a meltdown over sitting in his lap.

After a lot of arm twisting, eminva has agreed in principle to sit on Santa’s lap with me in bike kit. It will be so awesome…. I think I’ll go dig out my sparkle tights.

Coordinate with the sparkle tights. Or red with green tights for Christmas?

Oh my, you go into a year end rush at work and look what happens. Well, it’s probably time Santa considered alternate forms of transportation, maybe acc and I can convince him to join Freezing Saddles. Although it starts a few days too late for his most epic ride.

Oh LIZ! Isn’t it wonderful that you have your own set of sparkle tights? Gosh, I bet you’re really glad. Oh, and guess what? I have extra tutus. I know you’re happy about that too.

We had a blast! 11 people showed up and rode with us during the ride. Lots of shopping happened.

Reserved Parking

Easy access to Mosaic.

The cool thing was that everyone seems to hate going to places like Tyson’s Corner or even Mosaic at the holidays. We had a blast! There were NO issues with getting stuck in traffic. Parking was simple, safe and close to the mall. We’ll definitely do this again.

Only 2 negatives about the ride:
1) The line for sitting on Santa’s knee at Tyson’s was about 1/2 mile long. The line at Mosaic was super short and Santa was hangin’ out in arguably the best coffee house in the DC Metro area, so there really was no downside to that.
2) There wasn’t more to complain about. It was too awesome to have a second negative thing to say about it.
