Magic

Last year you really wanted nothing to do with Santa. So it has been fun this year to see you so interested in everything about Santa. You look for him every time we go out and are quick to notice anyone in a Santa hat. Then you ask me “Is that Santa?” You’ve also gotten quite good at wishing people a “MERRY CHRISTMAS” in your best Santa voice with the perfect “jolly” inflection.
When we went to on our annual trip to Alpenrose Dairy to see Santa you could not wait to see him. You were very serious about writing a list and getting it ready for to give Santa. In fact, you were so immersed in your list writing that when we asked what you wanted on your list all you could thing of was that you wanted “A list for Santa.” When we got in to see him, you just hopped right up on the big guy’s lap and smiled big for the camera. After we were done taking pictures you and your brother talked with Santa a bit but you must have forgotten something, because as soon as you got down, you turned back to see him and very reverently told him what it was you wanted for Christmas.
Now I didn’t hear what you said, and I’m pretty sure Santa could make it out either, but you were so sweet and so sincere. It was a moment that just spelled Magic, you believe in Santa.
