Cookies, chocolates and cards, but that doesn't compare to what happened on Dec 18th this year, Santa night was that night, we had a pile of kids, towards the e of the night I noticed a Mother taking pictures of me, ( dressed as Santa ) I said she was more than welcome to to get a picture with Santa and that the Elf could snap the picture. She was thrilled, then she said she sure wished her boy could get picture with Santa, I asked where he was, she told me he was in the van, I said bring him over, she said it is to hard to get the wheelchair out in the snow. A lump formed in my throat and I did what anyone would do, I told my Elf to go and tell the Dad to bring the van right up front and center on the street for all to see. When the van pulled around the corner I motioned for the Dad to pull over to the side right in front of the display, when I opened the van door the little boy was so excited, not only did he receive a candy cane and a wooden toy from Santa he also got his picture taken. People ask why I do this, well this is definitely one of the reasons.
