On Saturday I took my youngest son Spencer to see Santa Claus at the local WalMart. (Just a note that Spencer has Down Syndrome, and is AMAZING!) We were lucky that there wasn’t much of a line as it was toward the end of the time they were going to be there, Spencer was dying to get close to Santa. There was also a Mrs. Claus with Santa and she was truly a Christmas gift. Spencer is very outgoing, social and charming…he LOVES Santa, we watch Christmas shows year round. Spencer was saying Ho Ho Ho, hugging Santa, kissing Santa, talking to him about the reindeer, and I noticed that Mrs. Claus had teared up. After the photos were taken, Mr. and Mrs. Santa walked around with us a little bit at Spencer’s urging…Mrs. Claus thanked me for bringing Spencer that day, in the 7 years she has been doing this, she has never been as touched by a child as she was with Spencer. What a wonderful gift she gave me…I couldn’t ask for a better “one good thing.”
