Dear Santa: The children have drawn their lists in sloppy handwriting for you, they've doubted your existence for a couple of years now, but I just say - if they don’t believe they don’t need presents. That ends THAT discussion! They don’t realize you represent Jesus guess I have failed in that regard, church always left me vaguely dissatisfied, I can’t reconcile the corporation with religion even though I know it takes organization and money to run a house of God, doesn’t it? I hope it’s okay if we just pray In our own way. Somehow, I think it is (Catholic guilt aside). So, anyway, the only present on my list you’ve already given me, by simply showing me where strength lies. Thank you and Happy Birthday! Forever Yours, Corinne |

how your words fill the thought of me that in my pasture I seek He and thee... Yes Corinne, there is a Santa Claus...and because He is just and right, there will be the magic tonight he shall heed this letter of yours, and faith and value shall be reassured so in your dreams tonight this time...remember that He gave you rhyme He gave you reason and skill and care... because of this, your gifts you share... |

I am not one for mixing business with pleasure... So, I say without doubt, He loves without measure. Durring these festive days of new childlike treasure, I look into the heart of Christmas and believe. God Bless You and Merry Christmas! Bob <>< |

I can surely relate to all of this... and I've always said the same thing about believing... funny... my kids are grown up now... and they STILL believe.. they do, they do... I like this one, Corinne..  |
