Santa's Take

What a special time of year.... I,Santa and my minion of elves making a gazillion toys for all the giddy girls and boys. Just what are some of the things they will find under the tree? Let's see !! Colorful cars that go vroom vroom and twin engine planes that zoom. Remote control trucks that tumble around the room.Oh these things simply can't come too soon! There's the cute little doll house with a canary canopy and the stocking stuffed to the brim with sugar coated candy. Oh my, what about the indestructable tank with the turret that pivots or the tried and true toolset equipped with screwdrivers, pliers, hammer and yes, even a rack of rivets. I almost forgot about the long-legged dolls with their fancy silk sweaters and dresses. Oh how girls love those that talk or cry, or ..... yes, even make little messes. Then there are teddy bears,dolphins, monkeys, ...stuffed animals of all kinds. Oh, is it possible for the youngsters to get these tantalizing toys out of their minds? Chutes and Ladders,Candyland, Twister, Guess Who, a smorgasboard of board games. Oh yes, after this Christmas Day, nothing could ever be the same. Then there are cd's, dvd's,mp3s you name it, even cell phones to call. And no, that's certainly not all. Catchers mitts, frisbees,yo-yo's or better yet, a new leather basketball. Robots, Light Bright,Spirograph, we are busy making toys for tots. And I don't think I need to tell you No matter how you slice it... there's alot. But I'm running out of time here you see and there's no limit to what can be found underneath the tree. Every year Christmas provides a new story. I know I hold a special place in the hearts of people both young and old. But I will be the first to admit Christmas is not about me or what's under the tree, but might I be so bold as to say we must not forget that the real Christmas story is all about love. It starts and ends with the gift of Jesus sent to us from His Father above. For without that very "special delivery" Christmas Day we wouldn't even celebrate. No, as a matter of fact, December 25th would simply be just an ordinary date.
