On Christmas Eve

While letters to Santa Claus are secure under our pillow, the state of anxious sleepiness prevails tonight. A movement near the windows or footsteps outside the door, signifies the much waited arrival of the only individual who has the capability to fulfill all your wishes and also read your not-so-legitimate handwriting. Then you slowly start to grow up and you find stark similarities between your Santa and your father, like Santa using the same pen which your father owns to write you a note.

Then finally when you are all grown up and ready to take on the world, this idea of Santa Claus reveals certain startling truths. There are certain people in the world who will go to any extent just to make you happy and put a smile on your face. There are also people in the world who will want to you to believe in the world of fairies and pixies just so that you can find your mundane life magical. Just when you had started to grow cynical about everything under the sun, these are the same people who will not want your innocence to be lost so soon.

Christmas is the time of giving and receiving, caring and sharing. Stop and think about all the people who have made you want to believe in magic again and keep them in your Christmas prayers and wishes. And tomorrow when you go out with all the Christmas spirit running high, remember to give smiles to be able to receive many more! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
