As I’m traveling with a big bag full of Christmas gifts and wearing my bright red hat I enjoy the looks from people. Some children ask me “Are you Santa Clause?”, I smile at them and answer “No, but I’m a friend of Santa” and they seem content with that answer. Another little girl smiles at me and points out my big red bag to her mom. A father tells his child “Look, Santa is coming!” This year the bag is filled with presents for my family, perhaps next year I’ll just fill it with toys and gifts for other people, what a fun surprise that could be.
