Do you believe in Santa Clause?
At least this is the Christmas time, this question will be nice to start.
Well, do you believe?
When I was a little child, I believed Santa. (Japan is not really a Christian country, but as I remember, we already had the Christmas custom.) I remember that my little brother and I used to called out in a laud voice to the night sky to let Santa know what did we want. I completely forgot what toy did I want, and what did I get on the Christmas day, but I still remember the joy of that morning. A present was just appeared next to our bed, and it was one of my big wonder and joy to find it.
I remember I even wrote a letter to Santa to the address which I found from a kid's monthly magazine. That address was somewhere in Finland. There was (and I bet still is) actually an organization which responded to the letters from kids all over the world. So I send a letter to the Santa and got a response from "him." Though I received it about a half of the year after I send, I still was grad for that.
Those were so warm memories I have with Santa Clause. I now know there is no actual Santa, but I still believe there is a spiritual Santa Clause who gives warm and happy feeling in this season.
I think you'll agree with this.
