Believing in "Santa"




Christmas is not as much
about opening our presents
as opening our hearts.

Believing in "Santa"
Have we all stopped believing in the premise that Santa Claus does not exist? Just because we are adults and have a better understanding of the concept does not mean he does not and cannot exist. Santa exists a little in each one of us. Don't stop being your own Santa to someone else and certainly don't stop believing in the idea of him. Take the time throughout the year to listen to those around you. Take mental notes of items asked for or pointed out to you (write them down if you need to). It's all about paying attention to the small stuff. Hear the needs of friends, family, co-workers and seek out those items for those that you love. The concept of Santa is giving gifts to those who have been good but the real idea of Santa is to give gifts from your heart. Santa does not need a gift in return. A whispered thank you and a renewed sense of faith in people would suffice!

Wishing you well this holiday season. May peace, love and joy find it's way to you. I know this year I have a renewed faith this holiday season.
