Innocence is a precious thing. From the time we are born, there is only one thing we can afford to do with innocence - Loose It. But the days of childhood innocence is very precious and memorable - particularly when the child is your kid. My elder one is a believer ! Though 7 years old, he still hampers hope for Santa. Even though his mystic tooth fairy turned out to be his dad, and even though, most of his friends have told him no uncertain terms that Santa is nothing but your parents, he is still not fully buying it. While this belief borne out of innocence is adorable, his reasoning for believing is personally troublesome to me. Last year, he asked for a "Ladder" from Santa. So the Santa in me got one from HD and placed near the fire place. He was so moved by this gesture and to this day firmly believes, it has to be SANTA as he does not think his DAD can afford a $40 ladder from HomeDepot !! So this year's letter to Santa is here. Well written. This year Santa has options to choose from. My son also claims he will be contend if he gets just one of them.
