A Father’s Letter to Santa

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009
Bare Bones Gardener asked:


Santa please help!!!!

I have a big list of things that I would like for Christmas this year.

First up I would like a box of peace and quiet, to reflect on how lucky I have been.

Secondly I would like small amount of spare time to enjoy my family more.

Next would have to be a large supply of sanity, to be able to focus more on the good in people.

Next would have to come a big bag of patience to get over the rough spots. As my current supply is running short.

Another item I really need I’m told, is a new Sense of Humour, and it would be really handy if it came with a supply of fresh jokes, as my little darlings have told my current one’s are past their ‘use by dates’.

A goodly supply of forethought would be handy, to stop those post action regrets.

And lastly some new rechargeable batteries and a recharger unit would be great. The old batteries are wearing out and are taking longer and longer to recharge properly.

While the kids reckon I also need to recharge quicker after work, and in these modern days when you can get quick recharges on everything else, so why not me.

Santa please help.

3 Easy ways to keep your child believing in Santa Claus

Sandra asked:


Every year, it can be a challenge for parents to find the perfect gifts for their kids, while also trying to keep the magic of Christmas alive by fostering their belief in Santa Claus.

Young kids want to continue believing in Santa Claus and really enjoy the magical feeling of Christmas. There are several ways to keep that belief strong, even with kids who are getting older and are a bit skeptical. With the recessionary economy, parents all over the country are looking for creative ways to have a great family Christmas without breaking the bank. There are a few ways to renew your child’s belief in Santa Claus:

Milk and Cookies for Santa: Small children believe that Santa enjoys cookies and milk. Leaving cookies and milk is a great way for your child to thank Santa for all the presents. It’s a great way to show your child that you too believe in Santa Claus.

Carrots for Rudolph: Don’t forget Rudolph and the reindeer. Kids know that Santa gets milk and cookies, but what about Santa’s reindeer? Go outside and have your kids put out carrots for the reindeer to give them energy for their long journey, and imagine their delight when the carrots are gone in the morning.

Piece of Santa’s Suit: For those kids who are skeptical, leaving a piece of Santa’s suit that he lost on his way out is a great idea that will foster your child’s believe in St Nick again. While the kids are sound asleep, put a piece of red fabric by the fireplace or Christmas tree, representing a piece of Santa’s suit that was ripped off when he came down the chimney. Your child will keep this piece as evidence and will look forward to next Christmas to return that piece of Santa’s suit.

Letter From Santa: Receiving a letter from Santa can create lasting memories and build an exciting Christmas for any child. There are many websites that offer to write to your child a letter from Santa. Make sure you find one that is credible with a reasonable price. If you have trouble finding one, visit SantaMailPost.com. For a limited time, customers can receive $2 off each letter ordered. On top of that, they even offer a free Santa Claus Good List sticker. Imagine the excitement on your child’s face when they receive a letter from Santa.

Most importantly, be as excited as your kids are about Christmas. You’re creating memories that they will remember fondly and traditions that they may follow with their own kids someday!

Mince pies and Sherry

Before your child goes to bed on Christmas Eve, let them prepare a snack For Santa. Leave a mince pie and a small glass of sherry out for him in the living room.

Before you go to bed, drink the sherry and eat mince pie. Make sure you leave allot of crumbs on the plate.
