SANTA CLAUS For A Cause

07/29/2026

As Santa, I have held many babies over the years, but none has touched my soul quite like little Charlie. I have seen countless beautiful children, yet there is something truly special about her. She has the prettiest blue eyes that seem to sparkle with wonder.

Now, she may not be smiling just yet, but I promise you this—if you were to see sweet Charlie, she would make you smile. Some little hearts have a way of spreading joy without saying a single word, and Charlie is one of those rare Christmas miracles.

Thank you, Charlie, for reminding this old Santa that the greatest gifts in life aren’t found under the tree—they’re found in the hearts of children.

New York friends still residing in NY, I’ve got to ask — when you voted, did you know you were also voting to let your elected officials push for higher pay? The Mayor and other city leaders are now proposing an 18.8% raise. To put that in perspective, their salaries would end up not far from the President’s base pay. And for anyone wondering, the President traditionally keeps only $1 of that salary and directs the rest toward projects he wants to support.If you still know folks living in New York, pass this along. Most of the people I knew up there have already moved away.This last election really showed what happens when independents sit it out. With a little more awareness — and some common‑sense voting — that can change.Feel free to comment, just keep it factual and respectful.

I thought I would join the fake news and create my own. Unlike the rest of the media the headline is true. As you know Christmas is not a date on the calendar it is a state of mind. a feeling in your heart that never fades, no matter the time of year.

For you folks freezing your buns off in the tundra and daydreaming of sunny days, I've got just the pick-me-up - a butterfly, because who doesn't love a good transformation tale, am I right? I snapped a pic of this guy basking in the Mahogany Bay glow. Yes, they're that huge and I had to restrain my overexcited elves along for the trip to stop them from strapping themselves to it for a hang gliding adventure

87 years young and still got party skills, had lunch with family and friends celebrating Jack Paglini's birthday, and let's clarify, Jack's not my younger brother

This is a two-for-one deal. It was a major headache finding a reindeer that can sit still and pose for the camera.

I had to share my sister's post but go get yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy.

As I'm enjoying a quiet cup of coffee and watching the huge snowflakes falling and reflecting on the last couple of days, a fb story pops up and it made me think about....

Christmas Eve, late at night the door opens. No it's not Santa, it's Brian coming to get wrapping paper and ribbon, and then wee hours in the morning he's still getting stuff together for his little ones (who are not so little). Bruce comments "I remember those days".

Now here is the story that came across my fb and pretty much says it all for us grandparents aka the baby boomers....

"Christmas looks different
when you’ve lived a little…

Once, it lived in the noise.
In the paper flying through the room,
the toys that needed batteries,
the coffee brewed too early
because sleep never came.

Back then, we rushed this day.
We chased the magic,
afraid it might slip past us
if we slowed down.

We didn’t know
we were standing in the years
we would someday miss.

Now, Christmas comes quietly.
It enters the room softly
and sits beside us.

It lives in the glow of the tree
long after the house has settled.
In the way the lights feel warmer now.
In the silence that no longer feels empty—
just full.

After a lifetime of Christmases,
every ornament holds a memory.
Every recipe remembers a pair of hands.
Every song carries faces
we still love.

There are chairs we notice now.
Some filled.
Some remembered.
And somehow, both matter.

The years have taught us
how quickly children grow,
how suddenly parents become stories,
how one Christmas quietly becomes
the last one before everything changes.

But they’ve also taught us gratitude.

Because Christmas isn’t smaller now.
It’s deeper.

It’s rooted in love that lasted,
faith that carried us,
and moments that shaped us
even when we didn’t realize it.

So we don’t rush this day anymore.
We sit in it.
We hold it gently.

Because now we understand—
the magic was never in the noise.

It was in the love
that stayed."
