My family knows me as Jeanette Faulkner Majors, everyone else knows me as Donna (so there is no confusion). He was my Gr. Uncle, too, (Mrs. Bella Claus is my Grandmother Agnes' sister). Mom said that he delivered their Christmas gifts to their house like this. She got caught waiting behind the french doors for "Uncle Santa Jim"...he smacked her hand. Next morning, no gifts for her under the tree, but on the front porch was a bundle of sticks with her name on a piece of paper!!!

A true inspiration to millions - to those that have and currently depict the character of Santa Claus and all that he represents, and to those that received the love and smiles over the many decades from all of those that follow(ed) in his footsteps.
