Guiding Light Santa

(Memories of  Christmas)

The Guiding Light Santa is accompanied by a small child...

it could be an angel guiding him on his way, or the Christ Child

with little wings.  Many cultures believe the Christ Child

and Father Christmas come together on Christmas to bring

gifts and goodies to the children.  Other cultures believe an

angel guides him as he travels the dark forest paths to villages tucked

into mountainsides.  Bringing a religious figure into the tradition of

Santa is a balance practiced and appreciated in cultures all over the world.
