I have been watching you for a number of years, Clinton. I know that you have a good heart that once in a while hides behind some bluster and brashness. Years will temper some of that. But, because I am Santa, I can look through this and I can see to the core of you. And I see a good person, a loving person. Why else would you start the Secret Santa?

But it is time for Santa to teach you the lesson that The Greatest One meant to have taught when he created me. It is the lesson that is often ignored these days. I am not about getting.....the Magi taught the same lesson. I am about giving. In this time, you have run out of the physical things to give. That is good. Why? Because now you can give your heart. Troubles have a way of humbling us all. But if you will but give your heart, that will be fine. I am proud of you, Clinton Hammond. Merry Christmas.

Your gift is going out next week. I hope you enjoy it.

Your secret Santa.
