Things that melt your heart

[gregintenn]

My wife’s brother has a daughter who has two daughters of her own. Best I can figure, that makes them my great nieces. Anyway, the oldest is about 3 years old. She never seemed to like me much, although they live several hours away from here, and we don’t see them very often. At her preschool, they were asked to name the things they are thankful for this Thanksgiving. She named off several things, including the family members she could think of. Then she asked her mom “Who’s the guy with the white beard?” Her mom said “Santa Claus?” She said “-No, Greg.” I thought that was pretty cool.

 

It probably ain’t much to you, but hell! I beat out Sant Claus.

Awhile back i let my beard get pretty long and that Christmas, one of the little kids at our family get together swore up and down that i was Santa. He just stared at me all night, so eventually i motioned for him to come over. I sat him on my lap and asked him what he wanted for Christmas. he was elated to tell me all the toys he wanted.

Granted, I look nothing like Santa.. but it made him real happy, so it was worth it. His parents got a kick out of it. I told them they were on the hook to make sure he got what he wanted.

greginteen, great story. 

Edited to add; One thing I am truly thankful for is Jesus the Christ.
