For children, Christmas is especially magical. They eagerly anticipate the
arrival of Santa and his reindeer, trying to hard to be good so they don’t end
up on the “Naughty List.” They prepare milk and cookies (and maybe some veggies
for the reindeer) to thank Santa and fuel him on his long journey around the
world.
A lot of kids will try to sneak down to the tree on Christmas Eve to see if
they can catch a glimpse of Santa coming down the chimney, but most never
actually see him.
One little girl, though, caught Santa in the middle of his Christmas
shopping, and she couldn’t resist going over to say hi!
This adorable little tot was at the store with her parents when she spotted
a jolly-looking man with a white beard and a red shirt pushing a shopping cart.
No one could fault her for believing she had discovered the elusive Santa!
While some might just smile and say hi and continue on with their shopping,
this man (whose real name is Roger) went above and beyond to keep the magic of
Christmas alive for this excited little girl.
He knelt down and asked her questions about how she was getting ready for
Christmas and asked if she would be leaving cookies out for him. She said yes,
but humorously told him he was only allowed one – the rest were for the
reindeer!
The two chatted for a couple of minutes until the little girl’s parents
told her it was time to let Santa get back to his shopping. After all, he’s
very busy this time of year!
We’re sure this little girl went back and told all of her friends about how
she had met Santa at the grocery store! What a kind man Roger was to take the
time to spread some love and joy that day. Isn’t that what we all should be
doing? Not just during Christmas, but all year long!
We all have a little good inside us. Share it today!
