Dear Santa....

(Concerning a child that starts to doubt that Santa Claus is real.)

Dear Santa,

All I want this year is to be sure once and for all, I really need for you to tell me what's your deal?
I've heard some of the older ones, they laugh about you, saying you're not real...
Now I'm much too old for fairy tales and magic lands and other nonsense that I used to read of in my youth
Dear Santa, All I want for Christmas is the truth!

They say you're imaginary
Have I no reason to believe.
The old ones at school?


How can I believe what I've been told?
I'm no longer 4 years old
And I'm not a fool
How can I believe in you?



Dear Santa,

You mean to tell me that these past 8 years are nothing but an elaborate fabricated lie?
How come when I was 6 I swear I saw you wave and blaze across the sky?
And then last Christmas Eve, I'm sure I saw your wooly sleeve and heard the ringing of your bells all down the hall
I'm scared that if I don't believe, then you won't come at all...

Some is for, and some against.
These books aren't making any sense
They just fill this shelf.

And this, my mother said to me
"Is He real or fantasy?
Decide for yourself.
He's true if you think that he's true"
Then I'll still believe in you.
