Here’s a cute little story from the big chair.
A boy of about 5 asked me why I had a Pom Pom at the end of my hat. I responded with, “I’m sorry but I just can’t tell you. It a big secr... Hold on!”
Then I clasped my left hand to my left ear, grabbed the Pom Pom with my right hand and brought it near my mouth. “Calm down Bernard. It’s okay Bernard. Yes ... yes ... that’s right. The red headed dolls. It’s okay. Yes, I’ll be home as soon as I can. Thanks for handling it Bernard.”
Then I released my left hand and the Pom Pom and turned back to the child and said, “I’m sorry but I just can’t tell you. It’s a big secret.”
His mouth fell open, his eyes got as big as dinner plates, and he audibly gasped.
The magic of Santa is very real. 🎅🏼
