I can
still remember going to a little outdoor strip mall as a kid to see Santa.
As I
sat on Santa’s lap informing him of the many wonderful toys I wanted for
Christmas he turned his head to look at my brother who was standing by his
other side and I saw a string going around the back of his head that was
attached to his beard.
“What?!?”
I was
young but my keen, analytical mind was still able to rapidly interpret this
data and come to the realization that the big white beard on this man was
fake. And, of course, that realization
quickly led to the unavoidable conclusion that this man was not really Santa!
It was
a shocking moment.
And
that’s how I came to realize a hard truth.
It is a truth that we all have to acknowledge at some point in
life. The truth that sometimes Santa has
to send out other representatives because he can’t be at all the various malls
during the busy Christmas season.
