I Have A Tip For You Santa: 2004

The last two parties of the season.

It was bittersweet seeing families together,

hearing their merriment,

being part of their traditions,

seeing an old ex-cop playing Rudolph.

"This goes no further than here," he teased.

We have been paid in many ways--even given a tip here and there. The greatest tip we got was not money. It was to always believe. Long ago a man lived, who gave to others. He was made a Saint. Now he helps us celebrate the birth of the man who was the real Saint. One man lived the teachings of the other. And we can do the same. Happy Birthday, Jesus. This day is for you.
