The Dancing Santa

I pass by a candy store every day on my ride to work. They have the BEST chocolates! Well every year around Christmas they have a person dressed in a Santa suit standing outside the store. He dances and jumps up and down. He looks quite jolly for 7:00am!
So every morning this week I have decided to give him a little "toot toot" as I'm passing by. He immediately pauses his dancing jig and gives the biggest wave ever!
I wonder if he's caught on that I do this? I wonder how many other people toot at him? I wonder if he appreciates it?

I sure do appreciate his wave back every day :)
