Operation Santa Claus, the program by the retired New Hampshire state employees to provide presents for needy kids in the state, fills my heart with joy every time I participate. We did this as kids and now, I think for the last 10 to 12 years, I’ve been doing it, too. Sometimes, my kids join me; other times, I do it alone. I know at least one teen in need in the state will have a good Christmas this year.
