Christmas and the holiday season brings back so many sweet memories of being a kid. One of the magical things about Christmas is that we all get feel like kids again.

There’s this great program in Victoria that allows you to Be a Santa to a Senior and get a gift for one of the seniors in our community that may be on their own or facing financial challenges over the holidays.

With this program, it’s a sweet way to recognize the moms…dads…grandma’s and grandpa’s…great aunts and uncles — that have made Christmas special for many over the years. They made us cookies, wrapped infinite gifts, worked so hard to make amazing Christmas dinners. It’s time for them to receive!

Here’s more on the Be A Santa to a Senior program in Victoria with coordinators of this community initiative:
