One of the best surprises I had this season was when I asked my son for his Christmas "Wish list". He jotted down a few things and emailed the list to me. He said it was in no particular order of desire. He only had a few things on the list, and the last thing listed on his list was this: "Make my Christmas by making someone else's Christmas"! It really touched my heart that my 17 year old son would have the presence of mind to think of others.

I also wanted to post a few lines from a Christmas song(and I don't even remember what song it's from), that I firmly believe, because I believe that Santa Claus is an extension of the love of Christ:

Yes, there is a Santa Claus for children everywhere.
Though you may watch the chimney tops and never see him there.

People say his magic sleigh flies through the skies above,
But you might find it anywhere you find unselfish love.

Oh yes! He really does exist and Santa Claus will live
As long as hearts can realize how good it feels to give.

So when you are feeling low, keep up your hopes because
If there is kindness in this world,
There is a Santa Claus.
Yes, there is a Santa Claus.
