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!
