Congratulations! You
figured out the secret. I didn’t want to
tell you because it brings me immense joy to see you wake up each morning to
find me and read my letters. I also enjoy reading your letters and seeing how
you have developed as a writer.
You are the embodiment of the spirit of Christmas and are an
elf’s dream come true. Never stop believing
in the magic of Christmas. The truth is
that there is a Santa Claus and I truly am magic but this is only possible with
help from millions of parents and grandparents and even children who have the
spirit of giving in their heart. To be a
Santa or an elf, you need to be willing to give to others without them knowing
that you are the one giving. We do not give for recognition’s sake but because
God wants us to be generous to others. That is what I love about you… your
spirit of giving. Always keep that
alive.
It is of utmost importance that you not spoil the secret
for other boys and girls. Think of all
the joy you have had over the years and you do not want to spoil that for
anyone else. Please tell your brother that he needs to keep the magic alive
also.
And now that you know the secret, I am yours to keep and
hold and love until you have a little boy or little girl that needs an elf and
some magic and the spirit of Christmas. Merry Christmas and God bless you!
Your elf and friend forever,
Snowflake
