A few years ago one of the
children from my day care was watching the Christmas Parade in our town.
When Santa came by he saw him and yelled, “I will see you at Ms. Judy’s”. Others around him were asking “do you really
know Santa”? Puffed up with pride, he
got over his speechlessness, and said “Of course, don’t you”?
Each year at Christmas we have Santa come, talk to the
children, give them each a gift of something they like (we furnish the little
gifts of course) and have lots of photo ops. That year when Santa came in he
looked straight at the child and said, “I told you I would be at Ms. Judy’s”. One of the others piped up and said “I told
all of you the real Santa came to Ms Judy’s”.
What wonderful things happen to children all the time and
this is one the children still talk about because he still comes and still
rides in the Christmas parade. Some of
the older graduates come on the day he comes and always get tickled because
Santa is always the same.

Ahhh ... what a special place Ms. Judy's must be!!
ReplyDeleteThank you. We have been very fortunate. Several of our children are now in college but manage to come back to visit. Presents a real shock when we see them drive up - not sure we are ready for that much growning lol.
