Crumb Meets Santa

Wellness Loud
About this episode

Our story tonight is called Crumb meets Santa, and it’s a story about a trip into town on a December afternoon. It’s also about a chew toy in a red suit and hat, jingle bells on a collar, being surrounded by your family at the holidays, whether furry or otherwise, and letting the joy of another fill your heart.

We give to a different charity each week, and this week, we are giving to the MS Society. Mine is a family touched by MS, and I’m grateful for the work they do. Their mission is to cure MS while empowering people affected by MS to live their best lives.
