Santa is reason for the season?
Now that the holidays are upon us, I think we should all stop and take a moment to remember the real reason for the season - Santa Claus!
Jolly old St. Nick has brought laughter and joy, love and smiles to millions of people all across the nation, and all around the world, for several hundred years. What's more, he is responsible for uncountable millions of jobs, from manufacturing to retail, music, books and movies, transportation, energy, restaurants, grocery and food production - just about every single human endeavor.
Santa has touched everybody's life. No wonder Santa Claus is the most influential man to ever walk the face of the earth.
With the world being so troubled today and many people so worried about the future, I hope Santa's timeless message of "Peace on Earth and Good Toys unto Children" will be remembered by us all.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
