In this special holiday episode of Better Together, we sit down with Colton Penwell: local teacher, father of two, and devoted representative for Santa Claus. Colton shares how a childhood love of Christmas traditions grew into a deeply thoughtful role centered on joy, presence, and protecting the magic of the season.

From suit fittings and sleigh bells to quiet conversations at eye level, this episode is less about playing Santa and more about what Santa represents. Together, we reflect on nostalgia, family traditions, and the small, intentional choices that turn ordinary moments into lasting memories, and remind us that anyone can be Santa.

If you're new here, this is a place for everyone to laugh, learn, heal and build. Not alone. Not perfectly. But arm in arm, heart to heart. Because we were never meant to do this alone. We are always Better Together.
