The day Santa cried

This is one of the damn saddest stories I’ve seen in some time.  Given the suffering and hurt out there, that’s saying something.  And yet, it’s also beautiful in its own way.  A five year old who wants a Paw Patrol toy dies in Santa’s arms.  I dare anyone to watch this without crying:

A man who just uses his natural charms in a way that would shame many a professional.  A chance to bring a ray of hope into the world’s darkness, to make a dying child happy one last time.  That’s what Christmas is all about Charlie Brown, bringing joy into a hurting world.  God’s light shine upon that boy, and strength to Santas everywhere who do there best to be the light of the world.
