I have said before that I believe in Santa Claus. I don't believe that there is truly a jolly ole man in a red suit that has flying reindeer and delivers gifts in one night by sliding down chimneys. I do believe in the power of that image though.
I have engaged in discussion about whether telling kids about Santa Claus is lying to them. I can see how it can be considered lying but it is a story that I would tell every kid. It isn't about presents but about joy and laughter. Santa is about imagination and belief and magic.
I believe in imagination and belief and magic. I believe in kindness and joy and connection.
Santa is all of those things. The story of Santa is a story that imagines all of us connected to each other.
It was fun to see my niece enjoy the story of Santa Claus and see her believing and imagining. I believe in Santa Claus.
