I Believe in Santa, I do, I do, I do

One year when my youngest child was questioning their belief in Santa Claus I searched for things to try to keep that belief in her life for one more year. I wasn't ready for my youngest to give up that belief yet. I tried everything I could to try to keep her belief going. I enlisted her sisters in my effort to have that one last year of belief. I finally hit upon a super simple idea, or so I thought. I decided that I would make reindeer tracks out in the snow in our driveway and placed a partially chewed carrot there. The next morning I let the girls go outside to retrieve our morning paper and guess what. They found the carrot. They all acted excited when I told them it was left there by Rudolph. I said that he didn't have time to eat it all. My darling daughter then and there said she had not doubt that Santa himself had been in our driveway. I found out years later that my girls had given me that one last year of believing that Santa still existed in our home. What a wonderful thing for them to do. They had not believe for a couple of years. Even my younger one hadn't believe.
