I’ve told my gal to be a good gal so that Santa (yeah, Santa Claus) will know it, and give her presents during Christmas. And, she asked “Mama, how does he know?”. I say “oh, i will write to him. “
Yesterday evening, she suddenly took out a book, and some color pencils. She put it in front of me. And, went to hug the sister a few times. And came back to me. Then say “Mama, see i am a good gal. A very good gal. I saiyang MeiMei. Can you please write to Santa now?”
I reply “Now? Another day. “
She goes “NOOOOOooo! Now now.. Please write now. “
So as to not disappoint her, i wrote :
Dear Santa,
Arissa has been a very good gal. Please give her some presents.
Love,
Arissa
And, she was so happy. Tore the page out, and fold the page. Then, kept it in the bag. She reminded me that i have to mail it to Santa. And, then she goes “Mama, now write one and tell Santa MeiMei is noti. “
I went “…”
And, say “Then she won’t have any present you know?”
She then say “oh.. Ok, then say she is nice then.. “
And, insisted i write it now and then too. So, in total i wrote 2 letters to Santa yesterday.
And when she misbehaves, i say “ok, i shall not mail the letter. ” She actually behaves herself immediately! Hmm. Is this a white lie?
But, kids are cute. And they really like Santa. Or rather, anyone who showers them with love and presents. But, Santa is a cute figure whom they will remember fondly.
