This year, I'd like to ask for things that I truly believe are more important than any toys or gifts or material objects. Santa, I ask that this Christmas you remind people of the reason we're here and the reason we celebrate. Remind our families that Christmas isn't about the presents under the tree or who got more than who. Remind our families that Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus. Remind our families that Christmas wouldn't exist without Christ being born.

Santa, I also ask that on Christmas, you bring families together. There are so many men and women fighting overseas or who are unable to make it home for the holiday season. Bring them home. I want everyone to be as lucky as I am to spend my holidays with my parents, my sisters, my nieces, my grandparents and my uncle. I am so lucky, and I want you to spread that luck to others.
Santa, finally I ask for love. I ask for you to let love blossom in this cold and wintry season. Let love's light shine down so that everyone can feel it's warmth and happiness. Let love embrace the lonely, the sad, the scared, and the content. Let love embrace everyone.
I realize that there are other things, peace, end to hunger, stop to violence that I could ask for too.. but I believe those things are going to take much more than one letter (blogpost) to Santa.
Merry Christmas,
H.Eilene
