I have trusted Santa ever since I was a
child. When everyone else said Santa was a fake, I used to believe he existed.
During the winter vacation, which is from fifth to sixth grade in elementary
school, I finally realized Santa's secret, but I still feel infinite gratitude
to the true Santa of my childhood.
When I was very young, I didn't know Santa
existed. I thought Santa existed when I was probably five or six years old when
I received a very big dollhouse for Christmas. It was the dollhouse I usually wanted
to have, and when I opened my eyes, there was the gift. My cousin said that
there I no real Santa Claus, those presents are from my parents, but I didn't
believe it.
And every year Santa brought the gifts I
wanted to have and put them next to my head on Christmas. So I wrote a letter
to Santa from someday and prepared a gift for Santa with cookies. I don't know
what it's gonna bring.
The most memorable episode is that when I
was 7 years old when I went to a friendly church and met Santa, and I told my
father that my friend knows the real Santa, but why I don’t. So my father asked
his friend a favor to wear a Santa costume and give the present to me. But it
wasn't the gift I wanted, and I remember crying so much that it was a fake
Santa because I was afraid of people wearing makeup or wearing masks. When I
met him after I became a little older, I remember saying hello to him in a very
sorry and said thank you for the precious memory of my childhood.
But it was Christmas when I was 5th grade
in elementary school. Even on Christmas morning, I received a gift from Santa
without fail, and the cookies and letters for Santa that I put at my bedside
were missing, and I thought that Santa Claus took those things. But a month
later I was trying to find something in my mom's drawer and found the letter I
wrote to Santa. Then my mom told me that she hid it because she was afraid that
I would be disappointed that Santa didn't take it. Then that evening, I found a
package like the one I received from Santa in my mom's closet. And so I found
out that 12 years of Santa was my mom and dad.
Although I realized that Santa didn't
exist, when I found out that my mom and dad were Santa, I felt more grateful
for my parents being Santa for me than for being a disappointment. I was
grateful for such a precious memory that I was excited about every year and
kept awake all night on Christmas Eve. And now, I am already excited to become
the next Santa for my children in the future days. I hope they will enjoy
Christmas a lot as I did, singing along the song ‘Santa Claus is coming to
town’.
As a parent, this is an interesting post to me because I'm not sure the Santa myth is altogether a "good" thing. It is hard to balance and maintain, and it has so many holes in it as a concept. However...... Good post.
