Is it just me or is Christmas a little less bright this year? I’m seeing fewer lights and fewer signs of the season. The economy isn’t helping either!
That’s why I was exceptionally happy to run into Ed today. Ed’s from North Haven and I found him at Costume Bazaar on State Street. It’s where I buy my makeup.
No jokes please. I wear it. I don’t enjoy it.
Anyway, I walked into the store and right ahead of me is Ed with his full white beard holding a Santa suit. He was returning it on this mild winter’s day. Could anyone look more the part? If there’s any disappointment it’s that Ed isn’t using the suit any more (and that he doesn’t own his own)!
I asked if it would be OK to snap a shot. The result is below.
Thanks Ed for a little smile in a season of frowns and doubt.
Geoff –
I seem to remember you wearing a santa suit about 20 years ago in Branford! You should have taken this one for the holiday season 🙂
Happy forecasting this week

Ed is my husband and certianly does make a good Santa. He is a terriric grandfather of 6, which we are raising, and a great father. I guess I have to admit he is also “wonderful” husband. Maybe he will trim the beard soon and start again next fall.
Happy Holidays
hahaha my grandpa is the man!!
