This is a sweet and warm card, but it also brings a reminder not to fall into a materialistic trap. What does it say to you?
The Christmas Wish
It’s a tradition generations old – making a Christmas wish list for Santa. What I love here is that, as the children carry on this tradition, there are little elves and sprites all around them listening and taking notice. Not only do they see if we’ve been “good or bad” but they can also see what we already need and have. As we make our wishes this holiday season, it’s good to remember what we already have and not ask for excess – or even to ask something for others who have less than they need. These children are clearly loved and cared for – they have books and toys and a warm home – and let’s hope they (and the generations being raised now) have learned to ask with a humble and appreciate heart. And to learn to see the magic around them.
