Santa Claus is anyone who loves another and seeks to make them happy…
Who gives himself by thought or word or deed in every gift that he bestows…
Who shares his joys with those who are sad…
Whose hand is never closed against the needy…
Whose arm is ever outstretched to aid the weak…
Whose sympathy is quick and genuine in times of trouble…
Who recognizes a comrade and brother in every man he meets upon life’s common road...
Who lives his life throughout the entire year in the Christmas spirit.”
-Edwin Osgood Grover
