Santa Escapes the Cold to Fly Fish in California

I often ask myself, what in the world would I do if I lived in a frigid part of the world that didn't allow for fly fishing all year long?

Well, Santa sure knows what it's like. The jolly man has been so fed up with the weather at the North Pole this year, he's taken a little vacation before his big night and is spending some "me time" in California, fly fishing for steelhead on the Central Coast.

Couldn't pass up the opportunity to share this photo with everyone. If you look closely, you'll see that face is a very familiar one.

Hopefully you see him drop down the chimney on Christmas Eve.

Happy Holidays to everybody!
