Mom, are you Santa Claus? This is the most convincing answer I\’ve ever seen

When Christmas was only two weeks away, my daughter started looking for Christmas socks at home. But the day is approaching, and the socks are still not found. Every night when I got home, I heard her nagging: Mom, if there are no socks, will Santa Claus not give me a gift? In fact, the baby understands very well. She has tested me more than once this year and said: Mom, I have thought about what gift I want Santa Claus to give me. I said: That’s great! Just tell Santa. But my daughter repeatedly blinked her eyes affectionately and asked me: Is it okay if I don’t tell you? In her heart, she had long begun to doubt whether there was such a thing as Santa Claus in the world. When she was in kindergarten, she asked me: Mom, our house doesn’t have a chimney, where does Santa Claus come in to give me gifts? Although she was dubious and probably knew in her heart that her mother was the legendary Santa, as long as the gifts still arrived as scheduled every Christmas morning, she would rather keep this tacit secret with me. In recent years, there have always been voices of doubt as to why we Chinese should celebrate such a special festival. When you face a little baby and pick up a paintbrush, you can only describe his little wish to Santa Claus in a painting; when you face a little baby, clasping your hands together, closing your little eyes and pouting your little mouth, using a childish expression When you make a wish to Santa Claus in the voice of a child; when you face a child who is so excited that he can’t sleep holding Christmas stockings at night, but wakes up early in the morning and rushes to the gifts without even wearing any clothes; when you face the children opening them When you receive a gift, the excited expression, when they dance and show off their gift to you… I think all doubts can be automatically resolved, and the children\’s smiling faces are the best explanation. Parents are happy to weave this fairy tale and use the hands of Santa Claus to bring joy to their children every year and create an environment full of love. I remember reading a New York Times article about a letter a mother named Martha wrote in response to her daughter. Because her daughter doubted the existence of Santa Claus, she wrote a letter asking, Mom, are you Santa Claus? Martha\’s reply read: I am not Santa Claus. Santa Claus is not a person. But, I am the one who fills your Christmas stockings with presents, and I am the one who picks out and wraps the presents under your Christmas tree, just like my mom did it for me and my mom’s mom did it for her. Pass. I think one day you will do the same for your children, and I\’m sure you will enjoy watching them rushing down the stairs to see their presents on Christmas morning and watching them sit under the tree with its lights on Their little faces light up. I\’m not Santa Claus. But Santa Claus is love, miracles, hope and joy. I\’m on his team and now you are too. In the past few days, I pretended to be absent-minded and wrote down the wishes my daughter made to Santa Claus, hoping that she would doubt her for a few more years, or at least pretend not to know about Santa Claus’s nothingness in front of me. I silently prepared gifts for my daughter. , took it home and hid it, looking forward to my daughter’s sunny face when she woke up in the morning on the 25th. femaleThe son said: Mom, I have to go to bed early on Saturday night. Please remember to wake me up once at night. I want to get up and take a look. When will the gift be delivered? Mom wants to say: Baby, mom hopes your childhood will be longer, longer, happier, and more joyful. Although mom is not Santa Claus, mom loves you very, very much.
