Santa a myth or.....!!!

HO HO HO Santa is here to fill you with joy and distribute lovely presents that you've been wishing for!!!! Now which kid wouldn't love to hear this?? The kids would love to hear & see Santa Claus visit their homes especially if they are Christians. All kids have their own beliefs about Santa and during that tiny age we dare to think otherwise. This is about a cousin of mine who thought Santa was for real until recently.

The story dates back when my cousin was about 8-12 years old. Cousin's neighbor was a Christian family and she(C-cousin) was very close with their D-daughter of the same age. D used to tell C stories about Santa coming home to give her gifts every year. Santa was hi-tech too coz he had his own email address where kids could write to about the gifts they wanted. Sometimes D used to show C the emails she wrote and the things she asked, to C's surprise D got the exact gifts D had ordered. Now C had no choice but to come to believe that Santa was no fairy tale. C comes home and talks to her dad.

"It is true that Santa lives, and according to my friend D anyone can write to him."

"Write what dear"

"About the things that you need for Christmas"

"And how are you going to do that"

"Write him an email"

"Do you know his address?"

"Yes D told me". (dad didn't want to disappoint her daughter so goes with C's story)

"Ok go ahead and write to him" We'll see if Santa will come home.

C is all smiles, finally she makes her mind and writes to Santa. Dad sees what she's asked for. On Dec 26, Voila!!! the gift is in the balcony. C just cannot control her excitement, if only I had not slept I could've seen Santa come by. This went on for 2 years. Later one day once C was home, her dad sits with her daughter and explains to her.

"Santa did not bring the gift but I put them there"

C looks at her dad, don't know what to say. She didn't want to believe him. How could that be true?

C refuses to come to terms with the truth. She gave in after a while, though back of her mind she still thought there was something about Santa. The jingle bells ringing while he rode down from the sky in his deer sledge. Once C was old enough to know right from wrong she knew her dad was absolutely spot on. But even now C tells me she still wonders if Santa is a myth or not???

All of us must have had such thoughts when we were young and still think if it was only true.
