Operation Santa Claus-Thank God For Kids [VIDEO]

Christmas time is just a little more special for kids than it is for grownups like me. After all, they have to work harder for for a visit from santa.

They have to do homework, take a bath every night, eat all the food on their plate (including spinish), and that's just to mention a few things they have to do to get on Santa's "good" list.

I believe all kids deserve a visit from Ol' Santa after doing stuff like that all year long, don't you agree?

I know if I was a kid that had kept my "P's" and "Q's" in good order like that, Santa could make his list and check it twice as many times as he wanted to, as good as was all year, Santa Claus is coming to my house, there's no reason why he shouldn't!

But sometimes things just don't work out like they are supposed to. Life throws us a curve and and we just have to find a way to get through the ups and downs.
