Happiness Is

Happiness Is We take a moment to remember Nelida Thomasa Aguilar who passed away on January 1, 2010. She was the beautiful mother of one of our producers, Christina Fernandez Shapter. Cherished by her family and friends, now Nelida joins our other "producers in the sky".

Posing with Santa Claus at Christmas is one of those great American traditions that we hold dear. It's a magical time when kids are encouraged to dream as big as they can.
