Holiday Confession
The boy put out some cookies for Santa before going to bed. I ate them. I ate them and replaced them with an orange. Because let's face it, Santa needs chocolate chip cookies like he needs a punch in his round belly. I was just talking to Comet and Blitzen the other day, and in exhausted voices they said, "For the love of God, give the man some fruits and vegetables or something."
To those who celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas from the Phillips family! Go enjoy some egg nog. Those who don't celebrate Christmas can also go enjoy egg nog, and I hope you have a wonderful day as well.
In closing, here's a photo from 1994 that's significant for a few reasons. 1) It's the last time I sat on Santa's lap. 2) It's probably one of the last times I wore jeans. 3) It's one of just 3 or 4 photos in existence of me with dreadlocks (they were pretty small at the time, they got longer before I chopped them off).

I see, so...on your last post you wrote "SHAME ON ALL OF YOU" but on this one you ate Santa's cookies.
I bet next you are going to tell The Boy that Santa ate them.
For shame!

I'm a little concerned at Santa's face. He looks like he's enjoying the 'Omar Experience' a wee bit too much.
Merry Christmas Omar And Family!!!

My last Santa pose was in 1992. I'm about 2 and a half years older than you so that makes it about equal to your picture.
I too wore a striped shirt and jeans! I didn't have dreadlocks though.

I think you should bring dreadlocks back. And start a legion of Dreadlockians, who will fight for no reason at all. It'd be awesome Omar. Awesome.

Merry Christmas. I like the bald Omar better.

Seriously, you don't wear jeans? Interesting. I hardly ever wear jeans, but then I have the skirt option. Are you a chinos guy or what?
Oh, I almost forgot. Merry merry! I hope it was, anyway. Mine was.

I bet Santa was jealous of those dreadlocks.
No nog for me!

I honestly don't remember ever going to sit on Santa's lap. Sure, I've go photographic evidence that says otherwise, but I still don't remember it. I also don't remember writing any letters to Santa detailing my demands for the year. I feel like I somehow missed out on part of childhood. (a single tear rolls down my left cheek)
Aaaaaaaaaaand I'm over it.
