Kris Kringle IV

1 January 2026

Greetings All!

The North Pole is fairly quiet today as snow falls outside the village windows . The workshop is still … the reindeer are resting, and the elves are sipping cocoa by the fire. But even though the big night has passed, my heart is still full of the memories I made with you.

​I know that today, the wrapping paper is gone and the house might feel a little different than it did on the 25th, but I wanted to remind you that the magic of Christmas doesn’t have an expiration date. It isn’t found in the boxes or the bows … it’s found in the way you carry yourself today and each day.

​When you help a friend, when you share a smile, or when you’re brave enough to try something new, you’re keeping the spirit of the North Pole alive. That’s the "secret" magic that stays with you all year long. I may be far away in the snow, but I’m still cheering for you, watching you grow, and feeling so proud of the person you are becoming.

​The lights on the tree might eventually dim, but the light you bring to the world only gets brighter. Sleep well tonight, my friends, knowing you are loved.

​Until we meet again,

​Santa Kris Kringle the Fourth

Another heartwarming Christmas story:

At an event, an elderly woman quietly approached me …

WOMAN: Hi, Santa. I don’t want things for Christmas. I want my life restored. Can you do that for me?

ME: That’s a tall order beyond what Santa can deliver. Gifts like that come from a higher power. We can pray together and ask God for restoration. Would you like that?

WOMAN: *nods, eyes tear up*

We then went to a corner of the room and prayed. There’s a ton of power in prayer. Despite not knowing her exact situation, I continue to pray for her.

Fact!! 🎄🎁❤️
