The Lakeland Santa

I think I may be the only person in this country, perhaps even the world, who is enjoying Claxton Fruitcake for lunch this afternoon. Not only am I lucky, but I am supremely unique in God’s great world.

So ready for the Christmas Season and spreading hope and joy to smiling faces.

I love being The Lakeland Santa. Being able to visit with hundreds of local children truly warms my heart. After missing last year because of illness and injury, I’ve been looking forward to making up for lost time this year. However, with the Corona virus and the lack of any effective response from our state and national leaders, I am not sure how to proceed this year. All virtual zoom sessions? Limited one on one sessions with professionals like Marti Morrow Newkirk, Ken Bundy Photography, and Larissa Ann? Individual home visits?

For the parents, grandparents, non-profits, and local businesses out there, what do you believe is the best way to both keep traditions alive and our children safe during the holidays?

I have been advised by my doctor that I should avoid anything that could potentially involve lifting (as in picking up children) until at least after the first of the year. Therefore, I will be unavailable for Santa appearances this year. :(

Looking forward to seeing each of you at Swan Brewing tonight (5:30-7:30) for in July.

Please remember your canned food donations.
