Terry Niemann is Santa. Not just plays him. Is him. And his conversation with Dawn and Ruth is gonna punch you right in the feels. Terry is a transportation dispatcher from Minnesota who started playing Santa in 2018, and what began as a fun gig became something so much deeper when cancer entered the picture. Because here's the thing: When you face your own mortality, every interaction with a wide-eyed kid, every act of generosity, every moment of spreading joy becomes sacred.He's sharing heartwarming moments with children, spontaneous acts of kindness during the holidays, and what it's like to embody hope and magic when life has thrown you some serious curveballs. Terry's battle with cancer didn't stop him from being Santa. If anything, it made him better at it.This episode is about resilience, yes. But it's also about gratitude, the power of simple kindness, and what happens when you decide to keep showing up for people even when, especially when, life gets hard.So if you need a reminder that generosity and joy are choices we make every single day, and that the true spirit of Christmas isn't about presents but about presence, this one's for you.Grab your tissues and your coffee. Terry's story is the kind that stays with you long after the episode ends.LINKS: Do you dream about having a little more financial freedom?
