I just read this and really wished I had gotten in here earlier to see it. What a wonderful story. My youngest daughter, who is about to turn 10, has known since last year that her dad and I buy her Christmas gifts and put them out.....but this year she asked me....if there really was a Santa and said to please tell her the truth.

Now, my dad was a big believer in Santa Clause and everything "he" stands for and always told me.... "Yes, Santa is real" . I told her that I do believe that Santa is real..... and tried to explain in a similar manner, but would have loved to have shared this story with her.....and I think I will still.

There is a little bit of Santa in all who give to others.
