One Last Time

We have visited Santa for almost two decades. 

 

We gathered all four kids for a trip to the mall last week.

Santa was still there, faithfully listening to children's wishes and dreams.

 

David showed Santa pictures of all four kids from years past.

 It's hard to imagine that soon there will be no one 

at the zoo to hear the bells of Christmas.

 “At one time, most of my friends could hear the bell, but as years passed, it fell silent for all of them. Even Sarah found one Christmas that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I've grown old, the bell still rings for me, as it does for all who truly believe.”
― Chris Van Allsburg, The Polar Express

I hope your hearts are full this Christmas season.
