Dear Santa Cluus: 4
Many and many a letter will you ^
get from your little children all over V
^ the world?some by way of the fire- ?i
^ pluc? coming up to you In niyraids S
of sparks, some mailed in a "truly" T
pbsl office, and s<>nt to you through
the columns of the newspapers. Thl.i ?
letter is from one of your grown up
children and you must read it, kind v|
Santa Claus, and grant its requests ?
if you mny. I
Give us. oh give us, our old time j!
faith in you, dear Saint. Let us once T,
a^ain believe in you "ready and X
truly," with your charming rotund '?
nresencc and iollftv mid p.it! hoor
with your unfailing resources ami
ability to fulfill all of our hearts' de- !
sires?with your prancing reindeer |
who could dash with you over our <
house tops yet stand with such docility
on sloping roofs while you de- j
scended on your errands of blessed jar
bringing.
So much will be included in this !
dear gift for which we pray. For \
we shall have no responsibility, 110 ?
anxiety, no fear of possible failure; ;
for to those who believe in you are \
you not "magic" like a fairy? All
things are possible. And can we not
remember seeing you in the old days?
"Wait, that is not exactly how It hap
pened. We didn't see you but we 1
proved you. We knew of mysterious \
happenings and were told that you *
were responsible for them.
And, dear Saint, along with the be
lief in yourself give us back our
childish, trusting hearts please. These
hearts that we have carried around ?
with us since our childhood days are .
feeling the strain of life overmuch. \
So please give us our child-hearts
(ftice again. We need them at Christ
mas time, for children's hearts are '
sweeter and purer, and is not the
birthday of a Child we are about to
celebrate? Let us have our hearts
that used to always have, especially
on His birthday, room for the IIolv
Child. !
If you will lend them to us (thev !
must be in your keeping for most 01 *
us have lost them) for the holidays i
we will be very careful not to hurt j
them?certainly we will not break
them. And we will And that gift an
inclusive one also, for the hearts you !
will lend us are full of sweet memories.
We can actually enter into the
kingdom of Christmas as a little i
-Vld with these new?old hearts of ;
ours. Hut we will have to take out
of our hearts so much that is undo- .
sirable before we can wear the child \
hearts that we need for Christmas.
We will have to send the gentle spirit .
of memory here and there in the old \
heart and light candles of delight,
so that the child heart may stay contentedly
with us <luring the holiday'!

Hear our prayer, dear Santa Clans,?'
for here are some of the th'ngs in
those childish hearts of ours: I 'j.
The memory of father and mother, 4
and brothers and sisters; the close, v
close tie that knitted lis together in ]
what the grown-ups called a "house- *
hold," and we called "our family" 4
or, moro tersely, "us." The dear de- 4
lights of whispered conferences?the 4
hidden packages, the dolls dressed V
somewhere near midnight by mother ;
because you were then supposed to be je
1 sleeping; the Christmas family gath- JS
ering when two or three households < jj
of "us" were gathered together for t
the Christmas cheer-?the early wak- inf
the chill of a December morning
to explore the stockings so mysteriously
and satisfactorily filled by m
the Saint of the fireplace; the letters, tc
the boxes that nearly alwavs held ^
1*1
books in them?books that led us fc
into another wonderland all through ui
the holidays.
Lend us our child hearts, dear
Saint, and let all
