"Poor, misguided folks.

They missed the whole point.

Lot's of unhappiness? Maybe so.

But doesn't Santa take a little bit of that unhappiness away? Doesn't a smile on Christmas morning scratch out a tear cried on a sadder day?

Not much maybe.

But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give:

of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts?

Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and

good will toward men."
