My heart is broken for a child I’ve never met. This time of year, we see the wonder and excitement of the season in every child’s eyes. Even my soon-to-be 13-year-old got excited when she saw Santa’s village in the mall. There’s just something about Santa – that jolly man who can deliver every child’s dream through a chimney in one night just because they asked – that seems to make every...
