The Spirit of Christmas | A True Story

The mommy sat down to explain to her 3 year old little boy that two things were going to happen in two days. Christmas would be here, and they would celebrate Jesus’ birth. And, Santa would come, delivering presents and returning the elves to the North Pole. The little boy didn’t understand. Why couldn’t the...
