It won’t snow and Santa’s reindeer won’t be able to land on top of the houses (he’d fall through). But kids in Ubaúna will experience the joy of the season.

Generous folks in Wilmington are gearing up to give kids a Christmas who’ve never had a Christmas.

It won’t be like here with loads of presents. It will have food (beans, rice and a few pieces of candy) and a small plastic toy. It will feed them for 7-10 days; it will brighten their day; it will make them ponder where the United States is . . . but they’ll have no doubt that this fellow named Jesus cares about them.

“How many?” you coquettishly ask.

That depends on you.
