It’s Santa here, taking a moment to reach out to you! I understand that you might be feeling a bit down about not receiving the zipline and smart whiteboard you wished for this year. You see, my team of elves is quite busy crafting gifts for children all around the world, and sometimes, we have to make tough choices. The materials for your requests would have cost a whopping $8,010 and taken 297 hours of elf labor to create! I know you’re a thoughtful boy who cares about fairness, and I believe you can appreciate why I couldn’t fulfill those wishes this time.
I noticed you asking your mom recently, “If Santa can’t bring me what I want, can you just work a little more to get it for me?” It looked like you were a bit let down when she explained that she only works part-time so she can be there for you after school and that happiness comes from more than just toys and money. I can only imagine how confusing that must be for you.
Moments of Joy
To help brighten your spirits, I’d like to share some wonderful moments I’ve seen through my magical snow globe this season, moments that show the true essence of joy, love, and happiness:
- I watched you on the playground, dancing to “Uptown Funk” with your friends and siblings. Your laughter echoed all the way to the North Pole, and you recounted that fun-filled day for a whole week! That joy was not bought, nor did it come in a shiny wrapper.
- One afternoon, I saw you resting your head on your mom’s lap, missing your best buddy who moved away. As she comforted you, warmth and love surrounded you, feelings that can’t be purchased or found in stores.
- I also noticed how you lovingly read to your brother, even though you’re not fond of reading aloud. Your mom was so proud of your kindness, and you started realizing that being compassionate truly makes you feel good. I even saw you sneak a dollar from your tooth fairy money into the charity box at the local store! The joy that comes from giving cannot be wrapped in a box.
- When your dad returned from a trip, you ran into his arms, creating a “Ronnie sandwich” with your mom. Those moments of family love are priceless and can’t be put on a shelf with toys.
- I saw you express your unique style by wearing mismatched shoes to Thanksgiving. You confidently declared, “I’m starting a trend!” Your sense of belonging and acceptance is something money can’t buy.
- Remember that time you struggled with homework but felt triumphant when you finally understood the instructions? That sense of growth is something far more valuable than any toy.
- I saw you at your aunt’s magical birthday party, entertaining everyone with your “spells” and laughter. Your confidence shone, and you made the car ride home exciting with your jokes and antics. That self-assuredness is a gift that lasts a lifetime.
- I noticed you return to grab your bike lock after realizing you forgot it. Your mom trusted you to be responsible, and that pride you felt is something that no store can sell.
- Lastly, I remember the moment you admitted to snooping for presents. Your mom was proud of your honesty and bravery, recognizing your integrity. Living with integrity is a treasure that no one can take away from you.
Alex, I hope you see that these moments of joy, safety, compassion, love, acceptance, growth, confidence, and integrity are the real gifts in your life. Yes, I’m the one who delivers presents, but those experiences are far more valuable than anything I could bring.
I wish for you and all children, from 1 to 99, to have countless more moments that matter more than any toy or trinket ever could.
Ho, Ho, Ho!
With love,
Santa
