Hola!

Christmas looked bleak this year. No money for presents and children 
staring dreamily at the advertisements that were flashing between their 
favorite commercials....leaves a parent feeling hopeless and full of 
despair. 

This year we saw that Santa Clause truly lives. Our children were told 
that there would be no Christmas this year and we would be lucky if we 
had electricity to light our tree and cook our dinner.  But Santa Claus 
came to visit! Diane, Ryan and Paige woke to presents under the tree.  
What joy to see our children open presents they really wanted and asked 
for!  Our hearts leapt for joy to see the surprised looks on their faces 
and I nearly wept.  They told me to tell Santa Thank You and they loved 
the gifts!

To the Santas who came to visit us...an eternal gratitude and heartfelt 
Thank You!  It was the best Christmas ever.
