‘Tis the season of joy as neighborhoods twinkle with Christmas lights and the air fills with the scent of freshly baked cookies. Families are in full festive swing, preparing for the most wonderful time of the year. For children, the allure of Christmas is unique, with the excitement of Santa’s imminent arrival and the fear of the “Naughty List.” Leaving milk and cookies for Santa, and perhaps veggies for the reindeer, is a heartfelt tradition to fuel their global journey.
One clever girl had an unexpected encounter with Santa during holiday shopping, sparking genuine excitement. Roger, a festive stranger, went beyond with kindness, kneeling down to chat about Christmas preparations and the cookies she’d leave. Her humorous stipulation: one cookie for Santa, the rest for reindeer!
This heartwarming exchange exemplifies the true spirit of Christmas. As we move through life, let’s emulate Roger, spreading love and joy year-round, celebrating the magic of Christmas every day.
