27 Jan happy new year by jack bernstein
I guess Santa and his helpers decided not to let snow, wind rain, or a pandemic keep him from his favorite stop of the year.
It was my pleasure and privilege to, once again, personally, observe Santa’s helpers and Santa himself hand gifts out to the clients at CRI-Help. I guess that means we didn’t have any naughty ones. They seemed nice to me. Santa said he felt a little awkward not being able to hug the clients. I’m sure he’s gotten over it by now.
For many of us, Christmas at CRI-Help is the first clean Christmas in a long time. I vividly remember Christmas 1970, I spent it as a guest of Los Angeles County. On Christmas in 1971, it was spent in CRI-Help. I am blessed to spend every Christmas since 1971 at CRI-Help, and I hope yours was merry and bright.
Happy New Year
