The jig is up, the presents are out of the closet and the fuzzy sugar coating is building up nicely on my teeth. This morning I sat with Holly as she read the letter that Santa left for her. Santa’s letter revived my holiday spirit.“I know that as time goes on you will think of me less and less and our relationship will start to change. You must know that I am always watching over you through your parents’ eyes and love you deeply.
“You are a rare child, someone who is uniquely their own self, someone who is bigger than those around you because you give so much and ask so little in return…
“You are changing, your body is changing from a young girl and slowly transforming into a young woman…”
Holly’s eyes popped out, “I didn’t know he knew that!”
Who is Mr. Claus? For Holly, he is a charming and loving man who flies around the world leaving letters and toys for good girls and boys. For me, Santa is the creative spirit that inspires me to make gifts and share my love. Thinking of him as a jolly man with a flying sled, takes oodles imagination. That’s a gift that Holly shares with me.
