Is Santa Claus coming to town?

I’ve always dreamed about visiting Santa Claus someday. I know it sounds like a silly childish wish, but who never believed in Santa all their lives anyway? Even now that I am all grown up, every Christmas, I still fancy getting a gift that big old man with long white hair and beard, wearing red and riding his reindeer-driven-sleigh saying ho! ho! ho!

Sometimes I even dream about his place that’s filled with gifts, and Santa Claus sitting by the fireplace reading letters and Christmas wishes from kids and grown ups all over the world while watching his elves wrap gifts for them.

Everytime I sit by Amish fireplaces or when the time comes that we start putting up the Christmas tree at home, I can’t help but wish or a Christmas present from Santa. As soon as the months of the year hits the “BER” season, I always hang my huge red Santa sock by the fireplace next to the tree, excited about the gift I will be getting. I know it isn’t really Santa who gives my gifts, because I caught my mom and dad doing it, but I’d like to believe that it’s the spirit of Santa that instructed them to do so.
