Little Voices Sing Big Rejoices

It may become a holiday urban legend: BrightStart Orlando, in the holiday decorating frenzy, set up an area as ‘Santa’s Workshop’.

Then on Wednesday morning … it was filled with gifts … and Santa Claus was there!

Patients got to visit with Santa and received gifts ahead of next week’s big holiday.

A jolly time was had by all, despite a slight hiccup with all the clocks as Santa’s visit was cut short by an hour. BrightStart can state with confidence that our Staff Time Machine™ functioned within specifications to retrieve a few memories from Orlando staff without any measurable quantum disruption.

However, a highly confidential source told us this:

The schedule conflict was created because Santa has to get to a debriefing at NASA Wednesday before noon.

A new Sleighliner rocket capsule, whose notoriously delayed construction was outsourced to a new elf technology corporation, failed its return preflight check. This nearly left Santa stranded in orbit, apparently a common problem in the last twelve months. Elf-hats off to one of the North Pole’s special technicians, Nole Ksum, who was able to implement an emergency return for Santa.

Holiday cheer was raised several degrees with the return of guest Elf Ryan (and his agent, Senior Elf Mark).

But we can’t talk elves without mentioning the VSNA Union Elves … because of the Union, but also because they provided us with four terrific smiling faces who helped Santa deliver joy to our patients.

What a wild, wonderful way to spend Wednesday! Thank you, BrightStart Orlando team, for putting together a holiday destination for all our precious patients and their families.
