Lizard has accomplished a lot in a little time and later in life than most, but he will tell you about that in the interview below. I am here to report on what fun he was to meet and interview.
Actually, I first encountered Lizard at Days of the Dead in Indianapolis, but I did not have a chance to talk to him. When I saw he would be in Chicago, I put him on my list (a bit ironic, putting Santa on a list).
It would be easy to write that Lizard was a jolly, old soul. While this would definitely be true, Lizard deserves better than a bad pun like that. Actually, he is jolly, although his white beard belies his real age.
Lizard talked to us for several minutes and I felt completely at ease, although I never sat on his lap. He discussed how he got started, what he has done and more. He even shared a story from Being Santa Claus, his book.
Being Santa Claus is a book about his time as a real Santa. There are funny stories, as well as poignant ones. I am sure that Lizard has heard and experienced quite a lot while donning the big red suit.
