Not the poor version I will actually portray this day but the high roller kind with big bucks and significant impact.
So on this, the fifteenth, I shall don my newly acquired 'majestic' Santa hat and pass out a few trinkets in the form of twenties in foil cards to those with whom I do the most business during the year.
While I would much rather assume a grand role this will have to suffice given who I am and where my resources lay.
The spirit is there. The funding however is somewhat lacking up to this point in time.
Regardless, I enjoy going out and spreading as much holiday cheer as I can.
I'm also wanting to make sure that my vendors have some idea that I appreciate their efforts throughout the year because ... you know, it makes for happier results over time.
My significant vendors are punctuated with a few of the homeless and various others I encounter — and sometimes a person or two totally unrelated to my target venue gets lucky in the mix as well. After all, the holidays are the holidays and we should not begrudge another a little luck during the holiday season ....
Remember, there are just ten days til Christmas. A very Merry Christmas to you all.
