Polka Santa & Mrs. Claus

Me and the Mrs. will arrive a little early so we can put small presents in my bag for the children and adults (this is done either by leaving a trash bag with the gifts hidden somewhere on or around the porch, or by making arrangements to pick up the day before if at all possible). I always have a pouch that hangs from my belt with lots of candy canes and chocolate coins for everyone.

We started our journey at the Carmel Christkindlmarkt while performing Christmas carols with my ensemble, when a little boy and girl said to their parents "Look Mom & Dad, Santa plays the accordion!" During our break, both children sat on my lap and told me what their Christmas wishes were (a violin and a flute). Mom was shaking her head yes, so I said; I do believe we can make that happen. That night changed everything for me and my wife. I knew then God was directing me to become more than just a musician.
