As a child I always believed that Santa Claus exists in reality. My faith started fading away slowly, as I started growing up. I was taught that Santa exists only in stories and fairy tales, not in real life. I used to dream of Santa in my dreams, riding his sleigh and fulfilling all the desires and wishes of people. Stories of hanging the stocking on the Christmas tree, so that Santa can drop a gift inside seemed magical and at times whimsical. The question which amused me was the practicality of such a fat man, fitting into the chimney of a house. It seemed to be quite unlikely, but Santa is regarded as the messenger of God, so nothing is impossible for God.
After having grown up with a lot of faith in Santa, it is not viable to take a decision on his existence. Nobody might see Santa in reality, but he does exist among us. He is the one who grants us peace and harmony. Totally selfless, he comes with noble deeds right from the North Pole, traveling far and wide across the globe to grant us our wishes. Bearing the biting cold and crossing all sorts of weather conditions, he knocks on our minds silently. He might not give us grant us with worldly pleasures, but surely gives us happiness that all of us long for. He might not assure us with materialistic comforts but makes sure to take away hatred from the society. He bestows upon us a new year filled with cheer and glee.
Though he is not visible and will never be, he is omnipotent and omnipresent. Santa, if you can read this, then peace is what we all desire. Be it within the country or within every household. This Christmas grant us with eternal peace and strength to face any kind of obstacles coming our way.
