Calendar Girl Blog: Community
Santa Clause came to Guelph this afternoon.
I don't have children. But I do have a couple of girlfriends that fit the Santa age bracket, both of them my neighbours. So me, the girls and the dads walked to the base of our street for what can only be described as a homespun Santa's Parade.
Tessa, 3, danced to the various marching bands but was not remotely interested in burly hugs from fuzzy characters of various descriptions.
Aurora, 2 1/2, stayed on dads lap and regularly inquired about Santa.
I, grateful for the sun and therefore my shades, instantly welled up with tears as the first marching band, trim in their snappy outfits, gleaming instruments in hand, struck up a tune.
Calendar Girl owns the word sentimental. Any showing of people coming together, corny or not, for the purpose of the greater good, fills her heart with joy.
I love my community.
