I believe. Do you? I believe that Santa doesn’t always wear a red suit. Sometimes Santa is a kind word or gesture. Or perhaps Santa is a harried mom in a minivan who allows me into her lane. Sometimes Santa is a tired, but kind sales clerk. I myself try to be the vessel in which the spirit of Santa can shine as often as it can.

Friday afternoon found me at the school giving a few little ghouls a craft lesson. Each child was given a pile of chenille stems, fuzzy pom-poms, sequins, and spiders. Their creativity was amazing.
