Every evening, people set out their goods on the sidewalk to sell to all the motorbikes passing by. One of Heidi's favorites is the little neon light up figures in all sorts of shapes and patterns. Possibly night lights, possibly pure novelty, they are always pleasant to look at as their glow lights up the Saigon night sky. Tonight, walking home from dinner, Heidi became extra excited as she noted a new addition to the glow-toys -- SANTA CLAUS. Yes, the master of Christmas was there, beaming in all his neon, holiday glory. However, Heidi's dreams of bringing Santa home to be part of the family were quickly shattered when the woman on the street would not budge from her $3 price tag. Maybe next year Santa. Maybe next year.
