Santa Epilogue

What happened next and random final thoughts:

• We had a lot of people sign up for the Parent's Shopping Day Out and ask a lot of questions about our church.

• The following Saturday I was Santa again at my neighborhood's holiday event. Wasn't quite the same as the week before, but I was now an old hand at this stuff. :) By the way, Leona was actually "Mrs. Claus" at this event. I may have to post that photo later.
  

• I realized this week that I'll be on hundreds of people's refrigerators this year. They just won't realize it's me.
  

• When I was at the Rec Center today, well over a week later, somebody walked by me and said, "Hey, Santa!" I'm not sure, but I think it was one of the members of my "Christmas Posse." ' I didn't really recognize him, though, without the Gingerbread head.

• It dawned on us that this past Easter, Leona was the Easter Bunny at a city event, and that this Christmas I was Santa Claus. Surely people are going to begin to talk...

• Life is full of beautiful, adventurous and unexpected "God moments." Determine in your heart to not miss any of them.

• Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night. Or day. Or whatever.
