<\/p>\nHey there, Crazy4Fiction readers! Jan here, senior acquisitions editor at Tyndale House. Today I would love to share with you one of my favorite Christmas memories to keep up the Crazy4Fiction Christmas Cheer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When I began thinking through the possibilities, many came to mind, from poignant moments with loved ones to the cheery unwrapping of gifts on Christmas morning. I decided on a memory that makes me laugh and smile fondly whenever I talk about it.<\/p>\n
I come from a large family\u2014four siblings, 22 nieces and nephews, and 32 great-nieces and -nephews. Every year, prior to the holidays, we try to gather this large, crazy crew together to celebrate Christmas. And every year someone is recruited to don the well-worn Santa suit and hand out gifts to the little ones.<\/p>\n
Several years ago, it was my turn. I threw on that suit, shoved a pillow under the jacket, and took on the role of Santa. It was so sweet watching the children staring up at me in wonder. I loved seeing the expectation on the kids\u2019 faces as they received their gifts\u00a0.\u00a0.\u00a0. except for five-year-old Caden. I noticed him eyeing me skeptically. After all the gifts were handed out, I changed into my street clothes and sneaked back into the room.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I turned the corner, and there was Caden, waiting to greet me with a confident, \u201cI know<\/em> you were Santa.\u201d I did my best to distract him and convince him otherwise, but he was quick to point out that Santa wore the same boots as I did\u2014and the same jewelry (oops!). \u00a0When I pointed out that Santa had left through the front door, while I had just come from the kitchen, he scowled at me and said with disgust, \u201cWhy do you lie?!\u201d and stormed off. I still chuckle when I remember the look on his face.<\/p>\n May your Christmas be filled with joy and wonder! And may we all remember that Jesus is the reason we celebrate the Christmas holiday. Don\u2019t be distracted by the impostors.<\/p>\n \u00a0~*~<\/p>\n
