Tis’ the Season

byusBy Charlotte Byus
Once again, we at Second Going and Bolivar Peninsula Community Outreach would like to thank each and every person who helped us make Christmas happy for many children. Yesterday, the last of the presents were delivered from our group by a volunteer wearing her Santa hat. When she knocked on the door, a young girl answered. Our volunteer said, “Hello, I’m Santa’s helper and I’m here to deliver presents from him.” The little girl’s eyes got very big, she clapped her hands together, and with tears in her eyes she asked, “He knows where we are, he knows we’re with Grandma and Papa?” Her little brother came running to the door all smiles and asked, “Are you really Santa’s helper?”

She answered, “Yes I am, and Santa knows you and your sister and brother have been very good children.” To All who helped make this a Joyous Season all over the Peninsula, Thank You and Merry Christmas!

      By Brenda Cannon Henley People all over the world celebrate Christmas in different ways. Legends, family stories, and sheer traditions make us aware of just how different, and yet alike, we are.
