Little Girl Meets Santa on Vacation

We were on a family vacation to the Smoky Mountains - My mother-in-law has been battling terminal cancer and we wanted an opportunity to spend some time together. While out to eat at The Local Goat in Pigeon Forge, celebrating our oldest daughter’s birthday, our youngest daughter, Corina, spotted this gentleman who looked remarkably like Santa Claus. So, of course, she really wanted to ask him for something for Christmas! My sister-in-law, Emily, walked over to ask him if it was ok if she spoke to him - and he was incredibly kind and gracious to Corina! He asked if she was on vacation too and if she was having fun. Then he got to the important questions - has she been good? And what does she want for Christmas? She told him she’s trying to be good and she would like a Dancing Belle Doll. It was a welcomed reminder of the goodness in the world! Since then, he has been in contact with us and we plan to schedule a video chat and he wants to send her the doll for Christmas!
