This blog is a salute to the guys out there who spend time this holiday season serving as Santa’s helpers for kids and to bring cheer to parties for seniors and other adults in our region. In a time when turmoil and division seem to be more rampant in our country than ever before, Santa remains a happy and positive throw back to days gone by.  His helpers volunteer their time to spread the magic of the holidays sporting hot suits and many of them having to pad up to look the part.  Thank God the idiots in our culture who’ve orchestrated an assault on people who dress up as clowns to entertain kids haven’t taken aim on jolly old Saint Nick.That’s the way I see it.
