Be a Santa of Love

"The greatest thing is not to believe in Santa Claus;

it is to be Santa Claus."

Pat Boone

In today's world, if you are a parent, sky rocketing prices and children's expectations may be overwhelming. If you are a grandparent, you may be marveling at the materialistic payout your adult children are providing. If you are a great-grandparent, you may decide to withdraw from all gift giving. 

All of us would most likely agree that the Christmas Spirit needs to be spread lavishly not only amongst family, but also within the community.  You would not have to look far before someone in need enters the view.  Whether it is an unhoused family, nursing home resident, hospital patient, or sheltered dog, you could invest your time.

The delight that children display while on Santa's lap can be duplicated and spread out into our surroundings. Let's give smiles and wishes for peace triggering that child like magic residing within all of us. Be a Santa of love, spreading tenderness with each and every smile and hug you generously give throughout this season.
