Do you believe in Santa Claus? Well, children certainly do! Kendra Y. Mims in her article in ‘She Knows’, has listed some of the cutest letters to Father Christmas you will ever read! These kids’ way of thinking, and what they have to say, is just amazing! As the author says (and I couldn’t have described it better), “It’s always touching when kids think about others before themselves, especially during Christmas”.
Some of them are requesting something for someone else, while others don’t ask for anything since they believe they have it all. Certainly, there’s no question whether they are on the naughty or nice list!
This perspective is what makes our world a better place, and these children are a living proof that there is still hope! Their letters should be an inspiration for all of us. If all of us adopted this attitude the whole year round and not just during Christmastime, we could make a huge difference!
“Dear Santa” Letters To Melt Your Heart
It’s the time of the year when children are on their best behavior as they write letters to Santa to request everything on their Christmas list. Here are “Dear Santa” letters that will warm your heart and make you smile.

Speaking of inspiration, I would like to share one more article with you, written by Carolyn Jones in ‘San Francisco Chronicle’, which I found to be very touching. To be completely honest, I could barely hold my tears while reading it, so be prepared.
Unfortunately, some kids in this world are not as lucky as the previously mentioned ones. There are children who are asking Santa for the essentials; all these that the rest of us take for granted.
And these people in the U.S. Postal Office along with the volunteers are doing an incredible job, answering all these letters and helping in any way that they can!
Santa does not do e-mail. Nor does he respond to text messages. If you want to contact Santa, you have to write a letter, an ancient practice involving paper, pencil and a stamp.
Thousands of Bay Area children have done just that – but this holiday season, the tone of letters bound for the North Pole is a little more somber than usual. U.S. Postal Service officials in Oakland and San Francisco said they’ve seen a sharp increase this year in kids asking Santa not for Xboxes or PlayStations, but food, warm coats and jobs for their parents.
“It really tugs at your heartstrings,” said Augustine Ruiz, a Postal Service spokesman. “We try to answer every one, so they know someone cares.”

From my point of view, kids are right for believing in Father Christmas. Perhaps you should start too if you don’t. Santa Claus and Christmas magic are all about loving, sharing and caring for each other. And these qualities exist within each and every one of us! We all are Santa somewhere deep inside. Isn’t it about time to let him out?
May this season be full of joy and love for everyone and Christmas magic lasts throughout the New Year! If we open our hearts, miracles still happen!…
