Our sweet 8 year old still believes in Santa. He is on the cusp of unbelief, but when we were in Kamloops and St. Nicholas found him THERE, he knew Santa must be real. I mean, their stockings were at home when we left and then they appeared at our hotel!!!!
Briton - Oblivious to St. Nicholas Coming
No matter what the boys at Cubs told Austin, he believed!! It was a delight to see his pleasure in the magic of St. Nicholas Day.
We try to keep St. Nicholas away from Christmas Day, as our boys know the real reason for Christmas Day. But still... last night he wanted to leave a snack out for Santa, in case as he passed over (knowing he had already been to us on St. Nicholas Day) he popped in. Austin knew he had not given Santa a snack in our hotel room... *smile* So he asked me if he could write a letter.
Writing to Santa
This is the letter he wrote:
Dear Santa,
I hope you like the cookies and the milk. How can you fly over the world in ten thousand minutes? Are you really Santa? Thank you for eating the cookies and milk. When you are going around the world can you go to Ethiopia and ask my sisters if they are going to come home soon and tell them hello.
From, Austin
Oh, the precious love of a child! Next Christmas we are praying his sisters are home and he can show them the letter he wrote to St. Nicholas about them!
Leaving His Snack and Letter
Update: Santa *did* stop in and eat his snack and he left the children an extra present (over what they were left on St. Nicholas Day).
