J, I Liked the story, I’ve run across a few of those silent heroes that walk amongst us. Those that do anonymous acts of kindness are usually people whom we don’t notice on a daily basis. I think another lesson to the story is for each of us to strive to find these qualities in others, so it won’t be a surprise to us.-Thomas

J.S. – It’s rare to find adults who admit there really is a Santa. It saddens me when I hear that some won’t let their children believe in the nonsense of it all. It also saddens me that they don’t have a spot in their heart to believe that there is a part of magic in everyone, if only they will let it happen.

Your story shows that everyone has the opportunity to bring happiness and wonder in others’ lives. You do it so easily and by doing, are teaching others how to do the same.

I am so-ho-ho pleased to have met you. Please know you and your words have touched me daily. I feel I’m a better person because of you.

Wow. That is all I have to say. Anything more would completely dilute the story and its effect. Sals last blog post..A Chill In The Air...Sorta

JS. YOU ARE SANTA CLAUS (to me). You have given me so many unasked-for gifts. Things that I have truly wanted (actually needed) you just offered; You gave me the gift of opening my darn mind to all of the possibilities that this world (and beyond) have to offer and it’s all there waiting for me to just reach out and take it. Your knowledge, your friendship, your ability to just KNOW is amazing to me. Sorry to take so long reading your incredible story, I’ve been busy at my new career that I created for myself and hadn’t the opportunity to read for enjoyment! You Rock Santa! My hand to my heart, your Preakness Princess

What a It is a heartwarming and touching story!
Santa is one of the precious belief of our childhood and how lucky is your daughter to have you AND Buck The Santa Claus….
She will never forget that, and I hope that even when she does have her natural doubts about him she starts to believe in small “miracles”, in kindness, and in her mom, that walked the extra mile to make sure she would have a few more years of Wonder!
To Buck I wish his mother recovered and that he keeps being this Special Santa Claus.
And to you my friend, my wishes of many more magic moments making a difference in lives of so many people.

A special Christmas Hug,
Lisi

It is nice to have something to believe in. It helps us when we are feeling down, that there is someone or something we can focus on to bring us out of depression.

I think when we reach adulthood we are too quick to let go of our childhood beliefs.

When we are that age we believe in everything which is a good thing, there were no barriers in our thinking, nothing that we couldn’t conquer.

If only as adults we would learn to leave our minds open and not be so cynical. I have been guilty of this for many years.

I’m not going to say that Santa doesn’t exist, he exists if you want him to exist. He can be your beacon of hope.

Yes there are Santa’s all around you everyday of the year, there to give without asking or hoping for anything return.

What a lovely Christmas story. It’s important, particularly at this time of year, that recognize how Santa lives on in giving and caring people. Whether Santa is or ever was real as an elf in a red suit is completely beside the point. What’s really important in this beautiful story that has been shared with us is that goodness still lives in the hearts of those who will allow it in.

Thanks to the writer for sharing this beautiful story with us. It has warmed my heart,

Christi

To Keith Cash

I thank you for your comments. I would, however, like to point out to you that the “True Story of St. Nick,” just as all other truths, is in the mind of the beholder.

We say much about ourselves when we present with such a great need to smash the truth of another. I will go on believing in Santa and all he represents. At the same time I respect your need not to.

In closing, I just want to wish you and yours a wonderful holiday season and a Merry Christmas if that is something in which you do believe.

This is indeed a lovely story, and I can’t believe I cried reading it. Twice!

And thanks for showing us that Santa is real and among us.

Wonderful Christmas story. We all need to be reminded that there are Santa’s and heroes every day–not just on Christmas. Thank goodness we have Christmas one time a year to bring a cumulative peace to our minds.

Not only are there real Santas, apparently there are real elves who conspire with them!
Every child needs an adult who has the sense of fun that J.S. created for her daughter.
Our energy and attention is the most priceless gift we can give others. Thanks JS for passing along this insight in such an entertaining way.
