This Year's Letter to Santa

Another Christmas Eve, another letter to Santa. This was one of Sam's longer letters...


A year or two back, Sam told me that Santa "...gives good advice", so I guess I should be flattered that Sam shares such deep thoughts with Santa. But it's sad to me that Sam often has such weighty issues on his mind, especially on Christmas eve.


These are issues that, unsurprisingly, Sam has difficulty expressing on our frequent car rides. Still, he brings them up and I do my best to address his concerns, trying to do it as simply and straightforwardly as I can. Some of these things, though, are difficult to break down into bite-sized pieces that are easier to understand. Still, we do our best.

Sam's lengthy letter prompted a lengthy letter from Santa in return - which, once I recover, I may eventually get around to transcribing here.

On Christmas morning, Sam once again came downstairs, bypassing both his stocking and his presents in order to read Santa's response. He was happy with it, therefore, so was I.

I hope your holiday season has been wonderful - whether you celebrate anything or not. And I hope each of us has a decent year ahead.
