Dear Santa..

December 3, 2008

Dear Santa.
This year I wish for nothing else than peace in the world, if only for a little while.
The planet that we live on, the planet we are trying to darn hard to destroy, needs to rest for just a moment. It needs to be able to take it slow and have to worry what we will do next.

I also wish that those children who have never experienced a happy christmas, to be able to sit down this one; look into a mirror and say, “I am happy.”

That is not to ask for too much is it?

I want them to close their eyes and tell themselves that they have everyhting they need. To one day not care about what happens next, but to only say “Thank you”, and mean it. For a christmas with no worries might just be the best thing ever.

It doesn’t matter if they belive in You, or christmas. Just give them some peace, and I will be forever grateful.

My life may not be the best, but it is far from the worst. As I sit here in a sofa watching yet another Christmas movie, I started thinking again.

Why do we whine so much Santa? We who have clothes, a roof over our head and warm foodon our plates every day? Why do we one second say that we should care about those in need and the next we whine about not getting what we want for Christmas?

Why is that Santa? Why is that?

Why can’t be be satisfied with actually getting presents? Wy can’t we be satisfied with having a family to celebrate Christmas with?
Why can’t we be grateful that we have families?

Too many people in this world cares about themselves, Santa. Why is that?

So my only wish this year Santa, my only wish, is that for one holiday, one so called “joyous occasion” the children of this world will not have to worry, not have to cry, not have to wish thet they were someone else.
Give them peace, give them love. Let them be like children should be during christmas.

Let them laugh, let them scream with joy, but most of all, let them be thankful for not having to be sad. Let them eat and let them drink, let them do what they have never done before.

Give them Faith, Santa. Give them a reason to have faith.

That’s my only wish Santa.

If only you had the ability to make it come true.

Love
Sarah
