Yes, there is a Santa Claus in Virginia
... and her name is Jeannie Klisiewicz. She’s the Good Cheer assistant on Ellen, and Ellen DeGeneres dispatched her to surprise a big-hearted, hard-working second grade teacher in Leesburg, Va., not only with a little airtime on her favorite daytime talk show, but with a few presents, too. Her response is even more enthusiastic and adorable than that of most rabid Ellen fans when they get a surprise chance to interact their idol. It’s a Christmas gift for anybody who sees it, and enough to make even Scrooge, the Grinch and Charlie Brown’s teacher lighten up.
