SANTA
SANTA WHO
SANTA WHO MADE A VISIT TO GREAT DAY LIVE.
DAY LIVE.
DAY LIVE. CHECK IT OUT.
>> I DON'T CARE HOW OLD OR YOUNG
YOU ARE.
YOU ARE.
YOU ARE. THERE'S NOTHING LIKE SANTA
DURING THIS SEASON AND WE'RE SO
LUCKY TO HAVE HIM WITH US.
>> I KNOW.
THIS IS A REALLY DIFFICULT TIME
FOR LOTS OF PEOPLE AND SO IT'S
DIFFERENT.
DIFFERENT. OUR LITTLE ONES AND OUR BIG ONES
ARE USED TO SITTING ON SANTA'S
LAP AND GETTING ALL COZY AND
TELLING YOU BUT THAT'S OKAYMENT
YOU CAN STILL CONNECT WITH
SANTA.
SANTA.
SANTA. >>
SANTA. >> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. WE ARE HAVING SOME WONDERFUL
CONVERSATIONS WITH CHILDREN VIA
THE ZOOM LINK THAT WE USE.
AND MY GOSH, IT'S AMAZING AND
SOMEWHAT MORE INTIMATE BECAUSE
WE HAVE MORE TIME TO TALK WITH
THE KIDS.
THE KIDS.
THE KIDS. >> I CAN ATTEST FIRSTHAND MY
LITTLE ONE ABC LAWSUITLY -- NOT
SO LITTLE ONE EITHER IS SHE --
ABSOLUTELY ENJOYED THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TALK WITH SANTA.
BUT SOMETHING ELSE THAT PEOPLE
GET TO ENJOY, YOU ARE A PART OF
THE BIGGEST UNDERGROUND
ATTRACTIONS IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.
>> THAT IS CORRECT.
THE ONLY LIGHT SHOW OF THIS TYPE
AT THE LOUISVILLE MEGA KAFRN AND
YOU KNOW, IT'S A FULL WAY FULL
STREAM NOW GOING STRONG AND
WE'LL GO THROUGH CHRISTMAS AND A
BIT BEYOND.
BIT BEYOND. JUST CROWDS AND CROWDS OF PEOPLE
COMING THROUGH.
COMING THROUGH. AND WHEN I GREET THEM AND TALK
WITH THEM, IT'S AMAZING HOW MANY
COME FROM OUT OF STATE.
YOU KNOW, AS FAR AWAY AS THE
WEST COAST.
WEST COAST. UP AT THE NORTHERN BORDER,
MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN.
DOWN IN FLORIDA.
THEY COME THROUGH THE LOUISVILLE
CAVERNS BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A
SIGHT TO SEE.
>> SANTA, YOU ARE GIVING AND
THIS SEASON MORE THAN EVER I
KNOW YOUR GIFTS MEAN SOMETHING
BUT WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO OUR
GREAT DAY LIVE VIEWERS BECAUSE
YOU HAVE A LOT OF FANS OUT
THERE.
THERE.
THERE. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ABOUT HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS FOR US TO BE
GIVING BACK TO OTHERS OURSELVES
THIS SEASON IN MYRIAD WAYS.
>> REALLY THE SECRET TO
CHRISTMAS IS GIVING RATHER THAN
RECEIVING.
RECEIVING. THE BLESSING COMES FROM THE
GIVING.
GIVING.
GIVING. IT'S GREAT TO GET CERTAIN GIFTS
AND THINGS THAT YOU HAVE
IDENTIFIED YOU WANT BUT BOY,
WHEN YOU GIVE TO SOMEONE ELSE,
ESPECIALLY A PERSON IN NEED.
AND YOU SEE THEIR FACE LIGHT UP.
THAT'S THE REAL GIFT TO YOU AS
AN INDIVIDUAL.
AN INDIVIDUAL. SO I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GIVE,
GIVE, GIVE.
GIVE, GIVE. I HAVE TO ASK THOUGH, HOW IN THE
WORLD DO YOU CONSUME SO MANY
COOKIES.
COOKIES.
COOKIES. SPEAKING OF GIVING, YOU ARE
GIVING COOKIES EVERY TIME YOU
HOP OUT A CHIMNEY AND HEAD INTO
SOMEONE'S HOUSE SAFELY MASKED
UP.
UP.
UP. HOW
UP. HOW DO YOU CONSUME SO MANY
COOKIES AND STILL STAY
RELATIVELY FIT.
RELATIVELY FIT. >> SOME PEOPLE HAVE A
MISCONCEPTION ABOUT ME EATING
ALL THE COOKIES.
RIGHT.
RIGHT.
RIGHT. AND THAT IS NOT THE CASE.
I MAY EAT A COOKIE OR TWO.
GENERALLY JUST ONE AT THE HOUSE.
AND MOST OF THE COOKIE THAT IS I
GET, I PACK THEM UP.
VERY CAREFULLY SO THEY DON'T GET
BROKEN AND I BRING THEM BACK
WITH ME WHEN I GO TO THE NORTH
POLE.
POLE.
POLE. YOU
POLE. YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE ELVES
WOULD BE OUT YELLING AND
SCREAMING AND CLAPPING.
THIS EVENING BUT THEY'RE MORE
EXCITED ABOUT GETTING THE
COOKIES THAT I BRING BACK.
>> WE LOVE TO HEAR THAT.
NOW, SANTA LAST QUESTION FOR
YOU, IF YOU COULD CHOOSE ONE
GIFT FOR YOURSELF, WHAT WOULD
THAT GIFT BE?
>> I THINK IF I KNEW THAT I WAS
STILL SPREADING THE JOY OF THE
SEASON AND THE HOPE OF THE
SEASON, THAT WOULD BE THE
GREATEST GIFT THAT I COULD HAVE.
OF COURSE IF A NEW RED MERCEDES
SHOWED UP IN MY DRIVEWAY THERE
AT THE NORTH POLE, I WOULDN'T BE
DISAPPOINTED.
DISAPPOINTED.

SANTA, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME
OUT OF THE BUSIEST TIME OF YOUR
SCHEDULE.
SCHEDULE.
SCHEDULE. THAT'S FOR SURE.
>> LIKE SANTA SAID, YOU CAN SEE
HIM AT THE LOUISVILLE MEGA
CAVERN IN THE PARADE.
