Spoiler Alert:  That is NOT the real Santa in the picture.  The young man in the Santa suit is actually my darling nephew who saved me from having children with Fartbuster (Saved By a Nectarine).  He’s now old enough to be the proud owner of a learner’s permit.  He surprised the little ones at Big Gay Christmas with a visit from the North Pole!  

When I looked at this picture, my first thought was, “We’re all older than Santa!”  And then I was thankful for that because we’ve all had our brushes with heartache and danger.  Here’s to another year of telling stories together.
