Crowder donned a full on Santa outfit with make up to make the video call with the parents and boy. Dad's a cop and the mom is just great.
Crowder was prepared to offer thousands of dollars worth of Nerf guns, Supersoakers, etc. But Mom said thank you but their Christmas gifts were already taken care of, and that maybe Crowder could distribute them to the less fortunate kids. Crowder was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered.
BTW, the boy is tall for his age, looks about 9 or 10 but is only 4 and a half, IIRC. Mom's reason for making the video was for the son to have a video memory of his first fully aware Santa visit. They did it last year when he was only 3.
Kid has solid moral folks as parents, he'll be all right, maybe better than alright.
That’s good to know.
The family didn’t take undue advantage of the moment.
Thank you for that background on the family. Very encouraging.
