Clark Kent/ Superman

For the past three? two? Christmases, "Papa" comes over for a quick visit as Father Christmas. He delivers a present and then leaves (talking as little as possible). Papa does a quick change and then joins us as himself. Toe still buys it completely. It was made very apparent to us this year by the different reception "Father Christmas" and Papa received.

Toe was very polite, but stuck close to Nana.
 Wouldn't sit in Father Christmas's lap, but would sit in a chair next to him. Love the look on Toe's face here.

 When Father Christmas left and Papa arrived, Toe ran straight to give him a hug and let him pick him up. They opened the first day of the advent calendar together.
Makes me think about what features we use to identify people, especially when we are little. Of course, Papa is an actor, so he does put some oomph into it (gotta give him credit for finding the balance and making a VERY tall, VERY hairy guy not seem TOO terribly scary to a two year old).
