For many children across the world, their personalized letters from Santa Claus and their Christmas gifts are included in the best memories they could ever have. They cherish these memories for their entire lives. I, for one, love to see the joy and excitement on my children’s faces at Christmas time, especially when they open their personalized letter from Santa.
However, children these days are sometimes too smart and some of the old traditional tricks of Santa just don’t work. To keep the magic of Santa Claus alive is becoming a daunting task. Many children are perpetually plagued with the question, “Is there a Santa Claus?” This too, happened to me and my daughter. Let me tell you what I did…
My daughter jumped off the bus into my arms and sobbed uncontrollably into the crook of my neck. She was in kindergarten. “What’s wrong my little sweetheart?”, I gasped, but she would not even look at me. Between sobs she told me that one of her classmates told her there was no Santa Claus: That she caught her mom and dad putting all of her presents under the tree the year before and Santa was just a big fat lie. My heart stopped, and I almost started to cry myself.
We both sat in silence for a moment, and then I took her tiny little hand in mine and I said “Clairebear, there are two kinds of people in this world…those who believe and those who don’t believe. The ones who believe live in the magic of life and know in their heart that you don’t have to see something to know it’s there. And the ones who do not believe, well, they just don’t know how good it could be if they only had a little faith. Of course there’s a Santa Claus, everyone knows that.”
“Really?”. She looked up at me with those huge brown eyes and I will never forget the glimmer of hope behind her tears. “Really.”, I said. And we walked slowly, hand in hand, back up to the house. She was very quiet, taking in all that I had said to her.
By the time we reached the top of the hill, she said, “Mommy, I have a plan. I’m not telling anyone what I want for Christmas this year. I’m not even writing a letter to Santa. And if he brings me what I want, I’ll know that he is really real. I believe you, but I know my plan will work. Then I’ll go to school and tell that old Shelby she’s wrong.”.
My mind raced. What would I do now? And that was how my personalized letters from Santa Claus came to be…
