Thursday Dec. 24, 2015
Muscling through mall hustle-jostle, done – shopping done, wrapping nearly done – cannot imagine better fun than watching wide-eyed children (and their children), ripping packages open, playing with their newest joys and toys.

Now – day later than planned – I’m headed north. Bearded white haired guy loading sleigh named Pathfinder, delivering a few gifts I’ll trade for great joy, because a little girl and a little boy won’t call me Santa, they’ll greet me ‘hi Grandpa’.
