I was recently called to the activities committee in my new ward and quickly given the assignment for our ward Sub for Santa. In an effort to rally the troops, I sent a sign-up sheet around church so that people could volunteer to help with the shopping and had a pretty good response. Unfortunately, when I called all those that signed up, everyone (except one girl) bailed on me. I begged my roommate to come along and help so that the shoppping wouldn't take forever. Even though our numbers were small, we acutally had a great time buying presents for a family of 6girls.
Tonight we got to deliver the presents we purchased. We showed up to a humble home and were greeted by 6 smiling faces. The littlest girl (she was about 3)was dancing around the room with excitement. She told us all her favorite things about Christmas. She was smiling and I was too, especially when she pointed to Santa and said, "Ho Ho Man!"
Hooray for Christmas and getting to spread some Christmas cheer this season.

Can't think of Santa the same way...he'll always be the Ho Ho Man to me.
