Here is the last letter Santa wrote for the dudes. Sniff.
Dear Tyler and Jake, December
24, 2012
Merry
Christmas boys! You have grown into such wonderful young men this year. I have
loved watching you learn about service and friendship this year. It has come to
my attention that you have grown up enough to realize that I am not what you
have always thought I am, I would like to tell you my thoughts on that…
As your testimony of the Savior grows, it is time for me to move
into the background and memories of your Christmases, don’t be sad, if you look
at it from another direction, you will see that I am always here.
I was created for this world to help you learn about Jesus By
believing in me you learn for the first time what faith means. To believe in
something you cannot see. So that as you grow and realize that while some
things are not possible in this world, there are more amazing, miraculous
things that happen every day. Celebrate Christmas every year knowing that a
little baby was born in a stable to give the world hope. He was sent here to
show us love and joy.
Believe in magic, it is real. It may not happen like the stories of
reindeer and elves, but it is real. As a little one you experience it by
writing a letter and leaving cookies for a jolly old man in a red suit. There
are other times in your life you will find it. The first time you fall in love,
it will feel like magic to have someone love you back. Then one day you will
marry the person you Really love and looking into her eyes will feel like magic
every day. Eventually you will have little children of your own and the first
time you see them, it will feel like Christmas morning all over again. They
will believe in me and you will get the chance to help them believe in
something they cannot see, and you will know magic again. Never stop believing
in wonderful, amazing things.
I love you both very, very much. You are both an example of love,
kindness, and service. You take such good care of your mommy, and you are such
good friends to your dad. The little animals in your home love you because of
your gentle-ness and care for them. Chloe the cat, although she is wild and
crazy and tried to tear up the Christmas tree last night loves to snuggle with
you both because you make her feel safe. That is something very special. Fred
the Gecko, even though he doesn’t show it, feels like he can depend on you,
Tyler for all of his needs to be met. Jake, Tweedle-Dee feels special because
you never tease him about being over-weight. You love him for who he is and he
is grateful for that. Ozzie the dog wishes he could be here with you but he
understands that he needs to get healthy before he can leave the shelter. He
loves you both for being willing to wait for him to get better.
Remember that I love you and Christmas will still be as fun and
exciting as it has always been. Merry Christmas dear children.
Love,
SANTA
