Santa In Texas

Santa Claus needed a vacation. He decided to go to Texas because it was warm and
he had heard that the people were friendly. As soon as he arrived in town, people began to
point and say, "Look! The big red one! Isnt he someone famous?" Santa thought, "Gee, Ill
never get any rest if people start asking to sit on my lap and try to tell me things they
want." So he decided to disguise himself. He bought a cowboy outfit complete with cowboy
boots and cowboy hat. "No one will know me now-- I look just like everyone else!" He
thought happily. As soon as Santa started walking down the street people began to point and
say, "Look! Its that famous Christmas personality!" Santa rushed around a corner to hide.
"Its my beard!" he thought. "They recognize me because of my long white beard!" So Santa
went to a barbershop and had his beard shaved off. "I really look like everybody else
now!" Santa thought. So he walked down the street with a big smile on his face. Suddenly a
man shouted "Its him! Its him! Look everybody!" Santa couldnt believe it. He was sure that
no one would recognize him. So Santa walked up to the man and said, "How did you recognize
me?" The man looked at Santa and said, "You? I dont know you-- but isnt that four-legged
guy with the big red nose behind you
Rudolph?"
