Christmas 2022! Here Comes Santa Claus

It's undeniable, just look at the smiles on everyone's faces, Christmas is upon us and that magic, that excitement fills the air and surrounds us. And there's nothing as exciting as the anticipation of seeing Santa Claus. A visit to Santa can be magical and it can also be heartfelt.

When it comes to Santa, it has nothing to do with toys and presents, or with his red suit. Santa's message for Christmas is a matter of love and giving to bring joy into the lives of others.

As we age, the magic of Santa may appear to fade in our minds. We can become a bit cynical with age and we begin to believe that the story of Santa Claus is just for children. Given the origins of the great man in the red suit, I think we can all benefit from celebrating the magic and excitement that Santa brings. Saint Nicholas looked after the needy, giving his time, energy and money to the poor. What a worthy man to honor each year, and what a delightful tradition has emerged in his memory!Santa brings joy and helps create meaningful memories that will last a lifetime.
