There was a full house at the Mansion when Santa arrived. He read the”Christmas Story,” passed out gifts, sang some songs, talked to the children who came with the families or with the staff.

The Christmas spirit was deep in the Great Room. I thought of Steve Maraboli’s idea: ”

Want to keep Christ in Christmas? Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, forgive the guilty, welcome the unwanted, care for the ill, love your enemies, and do unto others as you would have done unto you.”

That was the feeling in the Great Room. Your gifts, stocking stuffers, letters, photos, crafts were everywhere. So many people thanked me for them. Thanks for reminding us what Christmas is all about.
