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’.

  1. 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.

Part of my world

Wanderin' free Wish I could be Part of that world [ ♪ Part of your world  ♪ ] I was a little girl who extremely loved the Little Mermaid, Ariel, the princess from the Disney film. That young girl saw the play <The Little Mermaid> in Disney land, 7 times without any movement. The girl grew up and still has the phone case of Ariel.  And as you may think of, the young girl is me, Seyoung Lee. So now, I want to tell you about what's in part of my world. L eaving from my hometown in Mokdong, it has been about 1 year and a half staying as a student of KMLA. As I stay here, in KMLA, I could think over again about who am I, and the things I like. I believe those things what I like, what I am interested in, can explain myself better than just introducing myself with the normal information. I like movies, music- including playing musical instruments. As I mentioned before, the movie <The Little Mermaid> is the first movie that I was really into it. After th...

IMHO: In matters of freedom, ranging from assisted suicide to abortion, governments have zero rights to interfere

A ssisted suicide to abortion, governments have no rights to interfere but have the rights to set the exact policies and systems for people to guarantee their rights safely. Assisted suicide and abortion is directly related to ‘life and death’ so it is not easy to assure that what is right or wrong. As society gradually changes, a new set of values to die while maintaining the identity and dignity of life has appeared. Also by the increasing rate of sexual harassment and the neonatal abandonment, people started to argue that abortion should be considered as another right to freedom, not illegal actions.  Some argue that abortion or euthanasia methods are feared to be abused, and would rather undermine the dignity of life. The moment abortion and euthanasia are legalized, human beings themselves will be given the right to decide death, then the notion of death and the boundary between life and death will rather shrink. Then which side should the government support? Despite the ...
