I can get behind a thread like this. Can you share a little more?

Santa would first arrive in a helicopter on a Saturday.
From there, he would ho-ho-ho all the way to Christmas. You could hear him blocks away. Great memories.

Someone just posted this picture in the Old Images of Baton Rouge Facebook page. I just had so many memories of going to Goudchaux's and seeing that Santa every Christmas. It's just awesome to see someone shared a picture of it.

I remember the "Ho-Ho-Ho" being extremely loud and just a little creepy.

He just said ho ho ho over and over and over. For hours and days and weeks. And yes, LOUD.
I've got two or three pics of me sitting on the Goudchauxs Santa's lap in a box in the closet. Christmas in Baton Rouge for people of a certain age was Goudchauxs

Cars looked so shitty in the 70's.
That's why they cost $6,000 new.

Was this the same Santa that was always used? Or did his appearance change in the 1980s? I seem to recall him looking a little different. Just too young to remember.
