I received this message on Friday night on Facebook…from a very dear friend.  Honestly, I tried not to look at it.  It’s very easy to ignore these things when there is so much to do!  Too easy to ignore and say ‘it’s not my problem’… But I glanced, and then I read, and then I went back and read it again…This is what it said:

A family has a 5 yr old son Noah. He is in the last stages of a 2 1/2 yr battle with Cancer. The family is celebrating Christmas next week and Noah’s request is to get lots of Christmas cards. Lets get him some, please send cards to: Noah Biorkman 1141 Fountain View Circle… South Lyon, Mi 48178 Lets see how many cards we can get to this little guy. Please pass this on!

Now, I have a 5 year old little boy who is my heart, and this message was so painful to me that I cried a river, and I don’t even know this little guy.  I cannot even fathom what this family must be going through.

After I read the post, another good friend of mine called to tell me of Noah, and asked if he could send a Santa letter to him.  I said of course.  And he did.

Now, I know this blog is supposed to be cheery and about the Holiday Season… about telling our own kids how wonderful they are and making their dreams come true.  But please, through my tears I write and I ask you:

Please send a card this week to Noah.  Make this little guys last wish a great one.  This really got me in the heart.  Keep him in yours as well.

Thank you.

I’m a parent. I know what it’s like to shop for two months, have Christmas built up from August to December in the malls, so that on Christmas day paper can fly and the excitement is over in ten minutes…our family joke is that the kids play more with the boxes! How about yours?

I started sending these Santa letters to my kids as a way to build them up for more than just a day-they run to the mailbox to see what Santa has to say-about THEM-and then we remember that all through the Holidays. Our Christmas lasts for weeks instead of just minutes…

They tell their aunts and uncles what their Santa letters said and it’s truly magical what you see in their eyes-they know they are great and that greatness lasts a whole lot longer than the toy-fest that starts Christmas morning at 6am and ends at 6:15 (if you’re lucky). Out from under that mountain of boxes and bows and wrapping paper I see a little person emerge who knows that they are loved, and that’s what does it for me. It’s not the tinsel or the ornaments, the carols or the glowing icicles…I’m no Grinch, all that stuff is very nice. But what does it for me is making my kids happy, loved, and secure with themselves. And from one parent to another, nothing feels better than making your kid’s day.   And so, I continue to send…and now I offer that little gift of love to you.

Yes, Virginia, There Is A Santa Claus

Santa Claus you say?! Everyone knows there is no Santa Claus! Yet, don’t we all want to believe again? Don’t we all want to go back to that place where Christmas was magical and Santa Claus jingling his bells was music to our ears? When our biggest worries were what color were the candy canes and could we pleeeease stay up past 8:30??   I have created this blog to keep some of that magic alive–to let our cares go for even just a little bit each day and reflect on our children and the good that they have done the year through and be proud of them and their friends.  Let us as parents and as friends, as sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles, come here to keep the magic of Santa Claus alive in the hearts of our children and in our own, so that they can grow and flourish and believe in themselves and in others, and make this world a better place–   In the words of Francis Church “Yes, VIRGINIA, there is a Santa Claus. He exists certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no VIRGINIAS. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light which childhood fills the world would be extinguished…No Santa Claus! Thank GOD! He lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.”  Yes, Virginia, Santa Claus lives…

I have a neighbor who told her 2 year old daughter that there is no Santa Claus!  Can you believe that!?  Her “reasoning” was that she didn’t want her daughter to grow up and think her mother lied to her, hence, think she lied about other stuff besides Santa Claus as well…

Honestly, I just didn’t get it–I love the magic of watching my kids whisper about what Santa might bring to them this year, and the look on their faces when they open their Santa Letters!  It’s like one of those Mastercard commercials — Holly and a wreath, $35.00…presents under the tree, about a thousand bucks…that look of joy when they think of Santa Claus…priceless.  I guess everyone sees things differently, but I try to preserve that innocence as long as I can in my children–my oldest daughter has her doubts, I can tell, but she hasn’t outright asked and I’m not outright telling, so this year I believe we’ll do the dance around the subject until one of us slips up–until then–I just have to insist–Yes Claire, There Is A Santa Claus
