The Real Santa Claus
If you are an underpriviledged kid in the Houston, TX area, this is the real Santa Claus. Not bad, huh?
Santa Works an Oilers Game at the Astrodome (Houston)
Too bad that Toys-for-Tots was taken over by attorneys. Used to be a great organization.
North Pole in Houston, Texas

Are they scared? No way! They have a ball!

This just plain pulls your heart out, especially when you see the families with more than one terminal child.
A Magic FairyLand
It may look like a Continental maintenance hangar to you, but it becomes a magical place for the children.
Why I Fly Continental Airlines

terminal cancer children with their families from terminal to hangar. (They all got tickets to the North Pole.)
Continental Maintenance Personnel
Seriously, THIS is the maintenance mechanic I want working on my airplane.

Being married to the real Santa Claus and head of the Santa Engineering Dept. is tough, ugly work.
Another Great Houston Program

Can Angels Really Wear Badges?
Wings are optional.
The Uniform Can Hide Only So Much
Literally thousands of children have their only Christmas because this officer gives a lot more than his time.
About 1:00am Before The Kids Arrive
These are the long hours of hard work that produce so much happiness. Sometimes, when you're dog tired, it's hard to remember.
Leaning (Literally) On Another Sponsor
Fiesta always comes through.
Apprentice Santa Engineers
The next generation of Santa Engineers. Priviledged kids finding a way to help.
Pancho Claus is THE MAN!
This man does more good in Houston than anyone knows.

He brings a great band, does a mean slide step, and puts on a great show.
