Here Comes Santa Claus...

Every Christmas Eve in Greenfield Park, there is a group of people who have Santa go around the park and hand out free toys to the kids. The fellow in the green jacket is Johnny, my mom's janitor, who organizes the whole thing. He holds garage sales to raise the money to buy all the toys. It is an incredible act of generosity.

One of Santa's first stops is right outside my mom's apartment building, so we go see him after supper.

And here is Santa waving goodbye as he goes off to deliver more toys. What a wonderful tradition and example of how it is better to give than receive. Imagine all those kids seeing Santa on his sleigh and getting a toy from him. Must feel great.
More Christmas pics to come...
