I know that showing anything with Michael Richards is considered bad form these days, given his recent stupid rant... but when I read this rather heart warming story...
GOLETA, Calif. This Santa didn't volunteer -- he was drafted. But he's accepting his lot with good cheer.John Dickinson is getting up to 100 calls every day from kids who think they're calling Santa Claus.It's a wrong number, but Dickinson says he doesn't mind. He just plays along....Apparently, a lot of kids have been misdialing one digit -- getting Santa Barbara instead of Santa Claus.
I couldn't help but to be reminded of this scene from Seinfeld:
And for that added bit of a connection, I was actually born and raised in Goleta. And his name is Dickinson? With a name like that, if he didn't play along, everyone would call him Scrooge for sure.
