Santa knows my name!?!?!

He does I swear! It's a funny story. Read on. So Friday Teagan is having a party at school. I pull up and park in front of the school. As I'm getting Jade out of her carseat I see Santa Claus and another man drive by in a dark blue truck. By the time I get Jade out and get my stuff together Santa is crossing the lawn. I'm headed straight toward him and he says, "Ho! Ho! Merry Christmas Mande!". What the!!! Santa knows my name! Made stranger by the fact that I have no clue who this is. I'm trying to make eye contact with the best Santa I've seen in a while and still I have no idea who this is or how he knows my name.

I finally ask the school nurse who seems to know him. She tells me his name is Chris. I thought she was messing with me but she was serious. Chris Peters. Okay I have not a clue who Chris Peters is. I mean I know this is a small town and a everyone knows everyone but he used my first name. Teagan who usually rejects the "unreal" santas is totally excited by this one. Freaking me out further. All the kids run up to him and give him a hug. I'm ready to tell him what I want for Christmas just to cover my bases.

Today I ask Amanda Hartman because she knows a lot of people. She tells me that I know who he is. Does her best to explain but I'm clueless. I tried to look him up in the yearbook but there is no Chris Peters in any of my yearbooks or Ian's. So I'm pretty sure that Santa has changed his last name to Peters and this whole thing about me knowing him from highschool is to throw me off the trail that this was the real Santa and he knew my name. Hopefully because I'm on the nice list.
