Hard bargain

EYEBALL TO EYEBALL WITH SANTA – Nine-month-old Reese Long had her first introduction to Santa on Dec. 20 when he appeared at Evans Drugs in El Dorado Springs. As his last customer of the day, Reese drove a hard bargain to make sure everything would be perfect for her first Christmas.

Reese is the daughter of Davis and Erica Long. Big brother Ben has lots of Christmas experience.
