A real Santa.

There really is a Santa Claus. Here are excerpts from the story:
Larry Stewart, 58, a successful businessman in Lee's Summit, Mo., announced a few weeks ago that he is the Secret Santa who has been doling out $100 bills anonymously to the needy in Kansas City, Mo., and other cities every Christmas for the past 26 years. Stewart carefully guarded his identity for years; only his family and a few close friends knew the truth. USA TODAY profiled him in a front-page story in 2001 but did not publish his name. That holiday season, he handed out $25,000 in $100 bills to New Yorkers who were reeling from the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. Over the years, Stewart estimates, he has given away $1.3 million. He says he has been amply rewarded in return.
"I see the smiles and looks of hopelessness turn to looks of hope in an instant," he says. "After all, isn't that what we were put here on Earth for — to help one another?"
In this Christmas time when we hear and read about Grinches who stole Christmas and man's inhumanity to man, this story is heart warming. Thanks, Larry.
