\n<\/TABLE>While preparing for his yearly big trip, Santa Claus managed to spend some time at the Munroe-Meyer Institute on Monday. <\/p>\n

Santa, also known as Billy Butler, visited children and young adults with disabilities attending the winter session of Camp Munroe. <\/p>\n

Comments overheard during the jolly old elf’s visit included:

  • Camper to a staff member: “I told you Santa got my e-mail.”
    \n
  • Santa: “Now you kids remember you have lots of duties and responsibilities.”
    \n
    Camper: “YESSIR!”
    \n
  • Santa: “What do you want for Christmas?”
    \n
    Camper: “Money.”
    \n
  • Santa’s helper (Jim King): “Do you remember the year that great, big wrestler came to see you?”
    \n
    Santa: “Yes I do. I sat on his lap.”
    \n
  • Santa: “With a wink of his eye and the twitch of his head …
    \n
    Camper: “He said goodnight?”
    \n
  • Camper: “Merry Christmas, Santa! Bye bye. Thank you.”<\/UL><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
