The Real Santa Within!
Some folks feel sad for what they don't have.
Some wish
they could give more.
Some have
understood Santa to need to buy gifts.

I grew up learning that everyone who gives is “Santa”.
I
understood “Giving” is how we give to others daily.
I believe
that “Santa” lives forever within everyone.
When we
forget to “Give” with Joy, we forsake ourselves.
Giving requires no money.
Giving
costs us nothing.
Giving
fills us with joy and love.
Giving
reminds us of how much we have.
