Well now that the excitement is over it's time to think of another bringer of benevolence and good cheer. Capitol Hill is as nothing to the HQ of this chap. Full of promise he welcomes us to another season of unashamed joy and fun. So do you believe in the jolly red suited chap?

My youngest came home from school the other day telling me that he now knew that I was Father Christmas. I must admit it´s rather a relief, as we can now get on with celebrating Christmas without him getting in the way. Everything linked with Father Christmas reeks of commercialism, so I´d rather we could talk honestly about Christmas and ´stuff´ and why we do it all.

Father Christmas is not just about presents and commercialism.m he embodies the sense of generosity of spirit that ought to prevail at Christmas and actually,the rest of the year as well. In fact St Nicholas, upon whom Father Christmas is based, was the patron saint of travellers along with St Christopher. He helped them cheerfully and without expectation of any return. Perhaps that is what the spirit of Christmas is about.

Do I believe in Santa Claus? But of course I do. He is what makes makes Christmas so magical..well that and the blessings of having a loving family and friends and counting the blessings of life.

I do love St. Nicholas! I taught my children his tale alongside Santa Claus so they would know the depth of the spirit of giving and the rewards it gives to everyone, especially the giver. I loved to wrap one present from Santa--completely different paper and ribbon and they could never find any leftovers no matter how they looked, no trace of evidence. 
Playing Santa was so much fun for me. Of course, they both knew why we really celebrated Christmas and we always baked a Birthday Cake, too, and sang Happy Birthday.
I had not thought much about Santa this year until just now. Good grief, the Christmas season is getting longer every year--kind of like election season!

And those commercials have finally stopped. I saw the same one hundreds of times. Obama in a classroom talking to a teacher.
