I believe in Santa Claus. I always have, I always will.
You can debate that he doesn’t exist until you are blue in the face as a Smurf, I won’t believe you.
I believe in endless vistas of imagination. I live there.
I believe in the magic that lives in hearts of children. It lives within me too.
I live in a world of wonder.
Santa is an inspiration to me. He opens up to our collective imagination, the one we are creating together.
Like the White Queen in Alice in Wonderland, I sometimes think of six impossible things before breakfast. Let’s apply that to Santa Claus.
Here’s six impossible things that Santa does:
- Knows if everyone has been naughty or nice.
- Flies through the air on a giant sleigh, heavily laden with toys and other gifts.
- His aforementioned sleigh is powered by eight reindeer, nine in inclement weather when a light is needed.
- Goes up and down chimneys, seemingly propelled by magic.
- He transports himself and any oversized gifts down all those chimneys without getting stuck.
- Delivers gifts all over the world on one night of the year.
Santa accomplishes things that no one else in the world can do. His joyful Ho-Ho-Hos create energy bubbles of laughter throughout the world. That jolly dude is the personification of magic and wonder.
He is the Spirit of Christmas.
I do believe in Santa, I do, I do!
I do believe in Santa, I do, I do!
I do believe in Santa, I do, I do!
Always,
Alice Always the Elf
