My dad is a professional Santa (shh! My kids don't know!)
No one who knows my dad, Mack Thorpe, would be surprised to know that he is now a professional Santa in his retirement. Well, there are a few people who would be surprised to know he moonlights as Kris Kringle in December...his grandchildren. They have no idea, and Grandaddy wants it to stay that way.
