2 week update.

Sitting here on a cool December morning, I felt like sharing an update about my time at Miracle at Big Rock in St Croix Falls. I'll admit, I was a bit nervous about being part of such a big event. I've never been the outgoing type, and people often say I'm too quiet, so I wondered if this was right for me. But let me tell you, doing this has brought out a side of me that finds it super easy to chat with folks, young and old. Santa never runs out of things to say! I've gotten more hugs from kids and adults in two weeks than I ever imagined. I've also heard lots of wishes and stories from everyone. I've seen the true Christmas spirit in people in a way most can only dream of. My Santa heart is fuller than ever, and I just want to say thank you to everyone who's touched my life this season. A big shoutout to my family for supporting me and to the "elves" who generously donated for my outfit. Of course, it's not the outfit that makes Santa—it's the spirit inside.
