Next Time You See a Santa, See 1.2 Million Kids, Too.
Anonymously, he tossed three bags of gold through the window of the family’s home.
Thus began the legend of the embodiment of generosity known as Saint Nicholas, whose name came to be pronounced Santa Claus.
As we get ready for this Christmas, I wonder what that original St. Nick would say about the 1.2 million children who have been bought, sold and traded this year in the global sex trade.
Real kids.
Like the ones for whom you and I are buying Christmas gifts.
What would St. Nicholas do about those 1.2 million kids?
And what would he tell us to do?
See you back here soon, and I promise to be more cheer-y.
Meanwhile, next time we see a Santa, let’s see those three girls then and the 1.2 million kids today, too.
And remember what the original St. Nick would do to help them. And why.
May we find a way to make a difference, too.

Yes, Joe, I often think of the little girls I met in Cambodia, who cry all night for their mothers, because they were stolen and sold into sex-slavery. Children as young as five years old. Babies really. The best gift we can give any child this Christmas is the gift of ourselves. Spend some quality time with a child, so they know they are loved.

Here is a website with more information on sex slavery. There is, among other things, a store, where the proceeds are used to help rescue children. My daughter told me about it.
