A letter to Gillian from Santa with 112 days until Christmas

Dear Gillian,

Merry Christmas! Santa Claus here, ready to spread some holiday cheer your way. I hope this letter finds you joyfully anticipating the magical season ahead. As you might already know, I work all year round preparing for this special day when children like you experience the joys of Christmas. But today, let me take a moment to share some fun things about myself that you might not know.

Did you know that I have a bit of a sweet tooth? Yes, it’s true! I have a special fondness for cookies, especially chocolate chip ones. I even enjoy baking them myself when I have some free time. Sometimes I get a bit carried away with the sprinkles, and Mrs. Claus has to remind me to save some for the other elves! Speaking of the North Pole, have you ever wondered what it’s like here? Imagine a winter wonderland filled with glistening snow, twinkling lights, and the laughter of my trusted reindeer friends as we prepare the sleigh for our grand Christmas journey.

Now, let me share a joke about myself. What do you get if Santa goes down the chimney when the fire is still lit? A Crisp Kringle! It’s always important to remember that even Santa Claus can have a little fun now and then.

But Gillian, I want to take this opportunity to remind you of the true meaning of Christmas. While I love bringing gifts to boys and girls all around the world, it’s essential to remember that the greatest gift of all was given on the very first Christmas. The birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior, is the reason we celebrate this magical season. This remarkable event sheds light on the incredible love God has for us. Jesus’ birth brings hope, joy, and unconditional love to us all.

In the Bible, Luke 2:10-11 tells us, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” This verse reminds us that Christmas is not just about presents and Santa Claus, but about the miraculous birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

So, as we approach this beautiful season, remember to share love, kindness, and compassion with those around you. Embrace the joy of giving and cherish time spent with loved ones. And don’t forget to leave a few extra cookies for me on Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas – The Savior is Born,
Santa

P.S. As you reflect on the true meaning of Christmas, I encourage you to read Isaiah 9:6, which says, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” May this verse fill your heart with the true spirit of the season.
