One man has dedicated the last half-century to bringing the magic of Christmas to children in need. Like Santa, he builds wooden toys in his workshop to get them sent out in time for Christmas. For him, the holidays are all about bringing some joy in the lives of kids who need it most.
Jin Annis, an 80-year-old veteran from Sanford, in North Carolina, is a bonafide real-world Santa Claus. For over 50 years, he has been busy most days handcrafting wooden toys. He spends his days carving, sculpting, and sanding pieces of wood until it transforms into beautiful toys for kids to unwrap on Christmas Day.
