To all those who play me ...

Writing about John Irons yesterday made me think of al the men – and women – who portray me around the world.

Oh, there are so many variations of me – tall, short, fat, skinny, all races and colors, dressed in red, green brown, white and bishop’s robes.

So many of my “helpers” – as I like to call them - are dedicated to the spirit of Christmas, and, of course, to the children.

And so many of them recognize the true meaning of Christmas and my ministry – serving the Child who came to redeem us all.

They do me honor. So I want to say thank you to all of them.
