Our Own Santa!

with Ryker Miller at the Ward Christmas Party

Rich prepared a comedy routine as Santa and had the whole crowd laughing.  He also shared this thought from President Faust:

"No one can measure the effect of an unselfish act of kindness. By small, simple things great things do indeed come to pass. Of course, gifts given and gifts received make Christmas special. For many children Christmas Eve is a very long night as they look forward with eager anticipation to the gifts Santa brings, which is why children love Santa Claus. Let me sare what someone once said about Santa Claus: First of all, he's a joyous individual . . . Next, Santa is interested in making others happy. He increased the happy moments in the life of everyone he meets. He loves his work; he gets fun out of his job. He is childlike, simple, humble , sincere and forgiving. Finally, he is a giver. His philosophy is to give himself away in service. He is a friend to everyone. He smiles, perhaps you and I could attain greater happiness if we emulated Santa Claus a little more, for this is the way of the Infant Jesus."
