We recently connected with Walter & Sandra Wylie and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Walter & Sandra thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?
A co-worker approached Gene in 2019 to perform for Breakfast with Santa at the Pelion American Legion Post 101 and the children’s joy was contagious. This event lead to us being approached by a contact for Gold Star to attend their annual holiday banquet for Survivors of Soldiers. To be able to give a few moments of joy to families who have lost members in service to this nation is humbling.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
Midlands Santa was formally created in 2021 as a venue for keeping the spirit and magic of Christmas Alive year round through working with photographers, home visits and family parties, attending military and community events, and supporting local businesses, and encouraging first responders.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
The core of Christmas is love and supporting that through giving of our time.
For you, what’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative?
The opportunity to bring some joy into someone else’s existence.
