He's timeless, of course. Yep, that guy in the red suit with jolly cheeks. God knows I saw many movies with Santa in them, and I loved them all. Yet the Santa I loved gave hope to two characters I adored on Guiding Light, showing them in New York City Santa does exist.

When I left for the pool this afternoon, it was a little after two, and the red light that indicates the DVR is recording was not on. And when I returned before dinner, for the first time in, well, I suppose since 1987, when I got my first VCR, there was no recording of As the World Turns for...
