Honestly, it’s the first time that I’ve smiled in a very long time. In addition to their ‘singing’ they gave me two Christmas cards that they had made (lots of glitter used here!) and a tiny live poinsettia. It was all so lovely. Thank you for including me in their Christmas good will. It was greatly appreciated at a time much needed.” – Santa to a Senior care package recipient
