Yes, it’s old news. But it’s a story that made a lasting impression — for all of the wrong reasons.
Last December, the court of public opinion indicted a woman who reportedly spent a lot of money on a lot of Christmas presents for her children. While she defended her right to do as she pleased, critics said she was sending the wrong message.
I agree. Christmas is not about “stuff.” It’s not about what we get, or how much we get. It’s about so much more…
With that being stated, here’s a Christmas letter I hope you will enjoy.
Dear Santa —
True, I’m not a little a girl anymore. And as you know, I haven’t really been all that good. But I still felt compelled to write.
You see it’s been a crazy year. Everyone seems so angry, and they’re all fighting for no reason. To make matters even worse, it seems like the people who scream the loudest and say the nastiest things get the most attention.
The whole situation makes me really sad. So I was hoping you could help straighten things out by bringing everyone some gifts they could really use. Here are some suggestions.
This year, please bring the world the capacity for:
- More love and less hate
- More tolerance and less ignorance
- More peace and less war
- More happiness and less anger
- More kindness and less cruelty
I know you’re extremely busy and this is asking a lot, especially at the last minute. But we can use all the help we can get.
I know you’ll do your best, and look forward to seeing you tomorrow night. (You know I’ll be up!)
In the meantime, please give my regards to Mrs. Claus and all of the elves. Oh, and don’t forget to pat the reindeer for me!
Have a safe journey.
Love,
Alexandra
