MONMOUTH â Donât worry, kids. Youâre not boring Santa.
Be patient with him. He was born in the year 279. And 1,750-year-old men have a tendency to nod off â especially after stuffing themselves with milk and cookies.
Besides, Ken Lehto of Monmouth is something of a method actor.

Believability is the key to Santa Experience Oregon at Haugenâs Galleri Portrait Studio in Monmouth, said photographer Miriam Haugen. She offers families more than keepsake pictures of children with the big man.
