I have a letter this morning from a nine-year-old boy,
asking me if I can give him some work during the
Christmas holidays. He says that he will do anything
that I set him to, and that if he can earn some mon
ey it will mean that his four smaller brothers and
sisters will have a “Santa Claus Christmas.”
Now I can’t give this boy work; but I can try to help
him be Santa Claus to those brothers and sisters, and
also see that he is not left out.
I wonder if most of us, as we grow older, don’t some
times forget what Christmas meant to us as children.
No matter what the presents were, we were happy at
the thought of getting something, and excited over
the occasion. The tree, the fruit and nuts. The good
food.
I hope each of you will have a Happy Christmas. If
you can make someone else happy, I am sure a large
part of it will come back to you. And I hope for each
of you and your families health and success.
