No Bah Humbugs Allowed On This Special Day
Do you remember the day you finally figured out that Santa wasn't real? Well I don't. I do have a vague recollection of my brain telling my heart that Chester and Juanita were really the ones that put my HO train on the living room floor and hid my new bike in the garage until Christmas morning. But, deep down, I know Santa does exists. And I have proof. All I have to do is remember Christmas morning with my very own Lance and Lauren and the sheer, unadulterated joyous belief in the big man in the red suit bringing all that stuff or the tears of joy when I surprised my one and only Susie with a gift she never expected that she still wears some thirty five years later. Oh yes my friends, Santa does exist. He exists in every child and every "grown up" that believes in the joy, love and connection to your giving soul that Saint Nick represents.
So, in honor of this very special day and night when you and yours just can't seem to sleep, just believe in the magic of Christmas and thank your God for those around you that matter in this world.
