and how woould it look if it were formatted just slightly different...
"Each year, we gather here to celebrate the season of hope and joy and to remember the story of one humble life that lifted the sights of humanity.
"Santa, thanks for coming. Glad you made it. I know you've got a lot of commitments this time of year. By the way, we have a lot of chimneys at the White House if you're looking for something to do."
new topic, new paragraph, problem solved.
There was not so much as a breath taken between the line about Santa coming and the season......so you can put that paragraph any place you please.....but it didn't happen!
