🏃🏼‍♂️🎅🏼 END SCENE 🎬 has truly had the best month of his life preparing for the most magical weekend in Illinois! Christmas in Carlinville was a huge success!!! He loved being merry with all of you!!! He began his day barreling through Sips Coffee Co for his precious latte. Sweet Lynde just was so worried he had truly hurt himself, so she called Ryan Kleeman - State Farm Agent for advice on what to do for our holly jolly sprinter. Well, Ryan said "ain't nothin' a beer can't fix" so Santa didn't take that lightly and headed up to Sun Thai-Carlinville for some cheers with some of his number one fans! Now he's been called home to the North Pole, because he's GOT TO GET BUSY!!!! 🎄🏃🏼‍♂️🎅🏼👋🏽

🏃🏼‍♂️🎅🏼 PART 6 🏃🏼‍♂️🎅🏼 On the first day of Christmas in Carlinville sprinted to the Macoupin County Fairgrounds and noticed a Legacy Vinyl & Apparel sign and really felt confident in his hurdling skills. Then he just couldn't contain his excitement over Heinz Furniture and Floor Coverings 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway!!! He's so proud of his friend Greg! He waited for hours for his idol to appear at D&D Fitness and Tanning and when he finally did-----well you'll see. Ryan Dixon For Macoupin County Sheriff will never be the same! 😘 Santa noticed his hero wore tennis shoes so he decided to check some out at Crowe Boot & Shoe, but he just couldn't get a handle on em, turns out he's a true western style kinda guy. He wanted to sport his new kicks up to Christmas in Carlinville on the Historic Downtown Square and popped into ApotheKari Market LLC and got a hard lesson from Lily on how to correctly use a soap pump. He knows he's teetering the line of , so he wanted to do a quick wave to his buddies at Carlinville Police Department before he partied it up with all the good girls and boys at Sol De Mexico of Carlinville !!!! Bring on Day 2!!! 🏃🏼‍♂️🎅🏼🎄

🏃🏼‍♂️🎅🏼 PART 5 🏃🏼‍♂️🎅🏼 Back by popular demand, our dearly beloved took local shopping to the next level. He began his day with a footrace challenged by Maely and Tate at 1917 Home Decor & Company, poor thing, it didn't go as planned! Bless his heart, he's centuries old after all. Chandra at Energy Center witnessed all of this and gave him a warm up in the sauna. He felt ready to get back at it and bolted into Collected aiming to be cool like all the good girls and boys. 6-7 (iykyk). He continued on and was utterly confused as to why his sleigh was atop Mother Road Antique Mall? Did it sprout legs?? He really got into his music era and channeled his inner rock star and chatted it up with one of his old BFFs. You know our jolly hubby, he's always thinking of the Mrs., so he stopped at My Sister's Closet for some gifts, little did he know he'd walk out jingling with one himself!! Well, after all of that hard work on his sprinting shopping spree, he thought he'd kick back with the fellas at Carlinville Elks Lodge #1412 for a quick brewski, unfortunately for him, THE Mrs. Claus rang----back to the North Pole he goes, because he knows Mrs. Claus don't play. 🤶🏽👊🏽

🏃🏼‍♂️🎅🏼 PART 4 🏃🏼‍♂️🎅🏼 We are interrupting your binge for our very our ! He's been on the move so he decided to hit refresh Friday night and get a glow-up with Ashlee Miller , turns out even jolly old guys want to flex their hair game. And he did just that at Potrillo's Mexican Grill, sipping like a true holiday boss with his coconut margarita and top shelf tequila shot! He was feelin' spry AF, so he decided to stretch out those quads at the train station, and truly went full toddler mode playing Duck Duck Goose at the Wood Duck Bar and Grill. Meanwhile, Mrs. Clause was blowing up his phone to no avail, and soon guilt hit him harder than a reindeer on a pogo stick. He knew the only place to make it right was Main Street Florist & Gifts - total life-savers, now he's back on the nice list with the Mrs. He decided to get some early work in at Big Dog Construction Company Your Local Window Depot USA like the true 10x follower he is, but the goodest boy did his job and chased Santa right on out!! However, in true Sprinting Santa fashion, he came out on top! He's getting more ornery as the big day approaches!! 🦆🦆🪿

🏃🏼‍♂️🎅🏼 PART 3 🏃🏼‍♂️🎅🏼 started his weekend off with a newfound sense of responsibility!! He decided to get insured with Squier Insurance Agency, INC because let's be real, he gets more bumps than a reindeer on a rollercoaster. He realized quickly he needed to stretch out those jingle bells at Energy Center to work on his flexibility, all of that made him hungry! He stopped at Starr's Primal Meats & Package Liquor for a healthy slab of meat, but then he thought, hey, it's Saturday, I deserve a beer too!! He got serious again, and stopped by KD Custom Trailers, LLC because he feels he needs something bigger than his sleigh for all the toys for the good girls and boys! After all that work, it was time to loosen up and show out! Route 66 Old-Fashioned Restaurant & Speakeasy showed him the effects of a good meal, camaraderie, and bourbon!! Well guys, he did, in fact, get a second wind, and "Curlied" right up to The Carlinville Moose Lodge for live music, drinks, and a late night horseshoe!! Santa's suit may be tight, but his dance moves are definitely TIGHTER!!! 🕺🏼🎅🏼 We're wondering if our very own holly jolly sprinter is in fact turning into ?? Which side will he choose?!? 🤔🎄
