Touching story of a real-life Santa

[MerryCarey]

I ran across this story by a Boston Globe columnist about a Boston-area man who annually played Santa Claus for more than 20 years for thousands of homeless children. Before he passed away Tuesday, he passed the privilege and duty of being Santa Claus to his son. Click the title below to read the story ... it gave me a lump in my throat.
