santa's gift

A HEARTWARMING, TOUCHNG & SELFLESS GIFT TO CHILDHOOD.

Uplifting

Every Christmas Helzberg Diamonds CEO Jeffrey Comment dons a Santa costume to provide gifts to children in several hospitals across the United States. Mr. Comment has found that by giving time and energy to a worthy cause, he gains much more back. This book includes encouraging comments from famous individuals advocating that good deeds is as important as donating money, but the Samaritan obtains much more with the activity than the targeted audience does ever gains. Some of the anecdotal true stories will leave the reader sad yet uplifted as this gift lives up to its subtitle of True Stories of Courage, Humor, Hope and Love. In the back is a list of nonprofit organizations that try to make a difference, but most significant is the inspirational message that if everyone one of us stopped being couch potatoes and becoming involved, we will make a difference.Harriet Klausner

Wonderful inspiring gift for adults and kids

With all the headlines about corporate greed, it's refreshing to find an executive who thinks not only about his business but about less fortunate people as well. Sure, lots of companies donate gifts at Christmas but Mr. Comment does more. Every year he visits children at different kid's hospitals, visiting with them and bringing them a stuffed bear. Of course, he hopes he's bringing good cheer to the kids--but he also listens to the hospital staff and the parents. His stories are sad and heartwarming. The real bonus is the back of the book section on charities that show people how easy it is to help someone else, regardless of your income or background.
