Dear Santa....

I am 20 years old. Most people stop believing in Santa by now. They quit thinking the man in the big red suit is real and start worrying about what to get other people and what they are going to get. I, however, am not one of those people. I still believe in Santa. Which is why I just wrote him a letter. Normally my letters to Santa are all about what I want and possessions I need, but this year I wrote about something different I wrote a wish. A wish that I won't share due to it's personal nature, but I firmly believe this wish will be granted. The idea I am trying to get at is never stop believing in magic! Sure, it may seem childish to some but to me that's what keeps us from becoming robots. Beliefs keep us rooted while also allowing us to fly. Magic keeps us believing. It keeps us young. So believe. Believe in the joy of Santa. Belief in his elves and his workshop. Just believe! 

This has become one of my new favorite songs. I think it really embodies the spirit of Santa and what he can do. It is also a tribute to the troops who so valiantly fight for our freedom and sacrifice holidays away from their families to spend that time fighting. I have a brother in the Air Force who, luckily, gets to be home with his family and us for Christmas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5leMiif4pM&feature=related Enjoy the song! :) It makes me cry (in a good way) every time I watch it. 


So, I guess what I want you to take out this is never stop believing. Don't lose the magic so many people call childish. Write a letter to Santa. Wish for worthwhile things and never be afraid to believe! 

Share a Christmas smile, after all, no one lies a frowny face! :)
