| This is one of the residents in the nursing home where we go once a month to share music. He is my inspiration for next years Santa! He is a perfect one! He has played Santa for years but sometime before he came into the home he said they told him he was too old to play Santa! He said he told them "Santa is Forever"! I love this! I'm going to make a couple of boards with his face and that quote on them this fall. Of course one will be for him! |
