Letter - Santa understands Christmas

Santa is a real person, but he does not have to have a white beard or jolly blue eyes and he does not even have to be a he.

To the editor:

Santa is a real person, but he does not have to have a white beard or jolly blue eyes and he does not even have to be a he.

Santa’s workshop isn’t necessarily in the North Pole. It is in kitchens and on work tables all across the world. Santa is lots of people. Hundreds, millions of Santas are everywhere. Santa is whomever is kind enough to buy a gift for a child whose parents cannot afford it.

But, more importantly, Santa is someone who understands the true meaning of Christmas and keeps the spirit of St. Nick alive so that he can continue to warm the houses and hearts of the less fortunate.
