The sweetness of Santa

For the celebration of Clark ending radiation, a caravan of us went to Southern California for a week. There are so many stories, so many lessons and so many things to be thankful for.

Like the sweetness of Santa.

Somewhere between the ages of 1 and 2, Emma decided she did not like Santa. She would see Santa Claus in the mall and scream.

So on this trip, when we saw Santa at Disneyland, Emma wanted nothing to do with him. Nothing at all. Delilah and the kids lined to see him and Emma stood back.

The line died down and soon there was no one waiting to see Santa.

Then Santa in all his beautiful costume walked out of his studio ever so gently to Emma. He offered her his hand and she took it! Santa spoke to Emma softly and encouraged her to come back to his "studio" to take a picture.

This Santa was a present to Emma and as a mom, I watched as Emma overcome her fear of Santa.



I will not forget the sweetness of this Santa and the way he understood children.
