I can’t add anything to it…here is the original text.
It was a ticklish moment for 2 ½ year-old Timmy Eskridge.
A big fat fellow with a long white beard wanted a kiss.
Timmy looked at his mother, Mrs. Phil Eskridge, Edna Road, San Luis Obispo. She smiled encouragement.
Mamma’s approval was enough for Timmy.
He hopped on Santa’s knee. With an audience of parents and children on the big motorized sleigh provided by San Luis Obispo merchants, Timmy got a bit shy. He looked at Santa. He moved in for the kiss. He smiled. He giggled. He drew back.
Another smile and a final decision: Timmy made the decisive move to kiss his Christmas time idol.
He got as far as the big white beard.
It was a ticklish moment for Timmy Eskridge.
