We spend Christmas Eve with my cousins. The kids get spoiled and we always have lots of laughs and fun. Santa never disappoints and always makes an appearance with goodies for all of the kids. The Santa suit is very special to us as it is the suit that my Dad always wore. He was the designated Santa for years and years and years. The year my Dad passed away (November 2000), my cousin Mike stepped in and assumed the role. He does a fabulous job, but every year as all of the kids sit on his lap, I am reminded (as we are every day) that someone very special is missing. He would LOVE LOVE LOVE my girls. I am comforted that they now sit on the knee of HIS Santa suit, even though they cannot sit upon his knee.....
