The community Christmas celebration will include FREE pizza dinner, and a FREE 5×7 photo of your child with Santa, musical entertainment, door prizes and more.

Also a special presentation of the book “The Night I Met Santa” by author Lora Johnson. Lora’s book is a wonderful interweaving of the Christmas tale with the story of the Gospel of Jesus.

Maybe you should take a look outside the window of your palatial estate.

These days, $15 is a lot of money. People are struggling to just to put food on the table and keep a roof over their family’s head, much less have the ability to pass out cash for what they would consider a Christmas luxury. Yes, the annual visit to Santa is for the kids. And yes, it’s a wonderful holiday tradition for which I hop more parents can introduce their children to.

But I’m quite sure, that no one appreciates your condescending comments about hard working people who probably wait on you hand and foot when you frequent Target and Pizza Hut to earn that $15 so their children can have a few good memories and smiles.

You ask if you need to send the money?

YES. I’ll take the money. And I’ll reinvest it in the people who need it most; those people who probably in their poverty, know more about Christmas than you in all your magnificent wealth.

So are you a man of your word or just a big holiday blowhard? Just say the word and I’ll let you know where to send “such little money.”

But if you don’t honor your offer, don’t worry. I’m sure that in the course of time, your kids will be able to look down upon the masses and pass-on the aristocratic, self-absorbed X-MAS attitudes that have surely been engrained in them by you already.

I wish I could offer more than one day but he’s a busy guy. If there is a real demand and we book up, I can look into one or two other dates.
