I just saw Santa Claus here in our cafeteria. grin He was dressed business casual which for him means wearing a dapper red vest, pantaloons, white socks with broad red stripes, and black shoes with shiny buckles. I couldn't speak with him because he was surrounded by an entourage of executives and security people. Obviously he was here on official business. He probably wanted to discuss appearances, joint ventures, and the use of his likeness on products and in advertising.

He had a naturally long white beard, rosy cheeks, and a definite twinkle in his eyes. He bantered easily with the cafeteria workers much like a popular chief executive. He was obviously not your typical shopping mall Santa. He was definitely the real deal. You could see he had a mind as sharp as the mind of any Warren Buffett. Yet, he also seemed to magically induce happiness in a 25-yard radious around him. From his worry-free demeanor, I could tell that he was confident in his command of a high performing elven organization, a widespread network of suppliers, and a hyper efficient supply chain. After lunch, I checked the helipad but I didn't see any sign of his tiny reindeer. I suspect that he may have been travelling incognito or had parked them underground in the VIP area.

For the record, he got his dessert first and then proceeded to get the rest of his meal. wink
