Our friend Kim sent us this sweet Christmas story from her grandmother…
My grandmother was a school teacher and my grandfather was a dairy farmer. Well, one day the local Santa Claus was sick and couldn’t go to the school to do his annual "Santa Sitting" so they called my grandfather. Although he was always busy on the farm, he was the only man in town available at such short notice for such a crisis as this. My grandfather got the call, left his barns immediately, donned the Santa suit, and greeted each child on his lap. The next day a little girl said to my grandmother, "Oh, Mrs. Robinson, yesterday we saw the REAL Santa Claus." To which my grandmother replied, "Well, are you sure? There are many helpers to Santa." And the little girl puffed out her chest and replied with great confidence, "I’m absolutely sure, Mrs. Robinson, I could smell the reindeer!"
My 93 year old grandmother died this past summer….but none of us will ever forget her, or this silly tale!
May the joys of Christmas be yours this weekend!
