The Wonder of Santa

Every year we are lucky enough to have Santa come to the Clegg Family Christmas Party. This isn't just one of Santa's helpers either. You can ask any of the kids and they will tell you... this is the REAL Santa. I, myself, as a child used to look forward to this party every year, because there is truly something magical and wonderful about Santa Claus. Just look at all their faces.Forgive me for a moment as I share with you one of my all time favorite Christmas songs. It is a favorite of not only mine, but all of my siblings as well. Dont' laugh. It's by the Oak Ridge Boys, and it's called "Thank God For Kids"."If it weren't for kids have you ever thought

there wouldn't be no Santa Claus?

Or look what the stork just brought, Thank God for Kids.

And we'd all live in a quiet house, without Big Bird or Mickey Mouse

Or Kool-aid on the couch, Thank God for Kids."

" Thank God for Kids there's magic for a while. A special kind of sunshine in a smile.
Did you ever stop to think, I wonder why...
The nearest thing to heaven is a child?"" Daddy, how does this thing fly?
And a hundred other where's and why's...
I really don't know but I try, Thank God for Kids."

"When you look down in those trusting eyes

That look to you, You realize,

There's love that you can't buy, Thank God for Kids.

When you get down on your knees tonight

to thank God for his guiding light,

and pray they turn out right...

Thank God for Kids.

Thank God for Kids there's magic for a while...

A special kind of sunshine in a smile.

Did you ever stop to think, I wonder why...

The nearest thing to heaven is a child?"

These pictures just reminded me of that song.

The Wonder of Santa, the Wonder of a child...

The Wonder of Christmas.
