Santa says snow won’t stop his sleigh.
“The snow will not stop us. The wind will not stop us. Ice will not stop us. But if we do see a beautiful rainbow, we may have to stop and pause and take it in,” Santa reassured us.
Santa was kind enough to answer a few more of our questions, like if Max was on the Nice List this year.
Santa’s reply? He’s toeing the line between Nice List and Naughty List.
“Anyone who has the true spirit of Christmas in them will always receive a present from Santa,” said Santa.
Santa also shared his thoughts on his whether the Grinch was worse than this weekend’s weather. For Santa, the Grinch is worse.
Santa told us he wishes all of the kids in West Michigan a very merry Christmas.
