Speaker 1: Carli Claus in the snow, making magic as she goat
raindew wading and road sparkle lights anistletoe, North coast shining
oh so bright.
Speaker 2: Carli dances through the night, gingerbread and Coco too. Everything
she loves to do.
Speaker 3: Calli Claus. She's got a cheer, spreading joy through me.
Kendy Kane's a slave belts ringing. Every heart's a jift, sheepring.
Speaker 4: I see both of them so clearly, CJ and Carl.
It's like watching two sides of the same coin. And
I love them both more than words can say. But
it's hard. I'm stuck in the middle sometimes, trying to
make sense of it all, trying to hold us together
when they're pulling in opposite directions.
Speaker 2: C J.
Speaker 4: He's a good man, a loving husband, but he's always
struggled with the weight of being Santa's son. I've seen
it in him from the moment we got married, the hesitation,
the reluctance. He never wanted to be Santa. It's not
that he doesn't love Christmas or the magic of it all.
He does, but for him, it's more about duty than desire.
The world put expectations on him before he even had
a chance to figure out what he wanted. And now
he's been living in his father's shadow for so long
that it's worn him down in ways that most people
will never see. And then there's Karl, my sweet Carl,
who's always known what he wanted from the time he
was little. He's embraced everything about Christmas, the joy, the magic,
the wonder. He's got that sparkle in his eye, the
one you'd expect in someone who's destined for this, and
he's ready, He's been ready for years now. But what
he doesn't all want is the other side of it,
the side that CJ knows too well. I can't blame
either of them. CJ's trying to protect Carl from the
very thing he's struggled with his whole life. He doesn't
want our son to feel the same pressure, or to
end up resenting the legacy like he does. And Carl,
he's so determined, so full of passion, that he can't
see why his father is so hesitant. He's ready to
jump in, to take on the responsibility, but he hasn't
lived with it the way CJ has. I love Carl's drive.
He's got such a good heart, and I know he'll
make a wonderful Santa one day. But I also see
the wisdom in CJ's caution. There's more to this role
than Carl realizes, and I know CJ's just trying to
make sure our son doesn't lose himself in the process.
Carl's never had to struggle with the weight of the
clause named the way CJ did, and that's a blessing,
but it also means Karl doesn't fully understand what's ahead
of him. For me, it's about finding ballads. I want
to support Carl in following his dreams, but I also
want him to listen to his father to see that
there's more to being Santa than just loving Christmas. There's responsibility, sacrifice,
and sometimes the world can be a little heavy. I'm
proud of both of them, even if they don't see
eye to eye right now. They're both good men in
their own ways, and I just hope in time they'll
understand each other better. CJ's fears are valid, but so
is Carl's passion. My job, I guess, is to help
them find a way to meet in the middle, to
help Carl take on the legacy without losing himself and
to help CJ let go of the fear that's been
holding him back for so long. We'll figure it out.
We always do. We're a family, and that's what matters
most to me.
