Today Miss Debbie and I asked the children, "What do you want from Santa this year?" Then we listened to what they had to say and helped them write a letter to Santa Clause. We definitely had a couple of laughs over some children's wishes. We work with 3 and 4 year olds, so you can only imagine what these little ones want for Christmas! The girls said their typical thing of Barbies, dolls, various PINK things and the boys said mostly boy-ish things like toys and electronic devices. One boy knew what he wanted without even having to think about it and his letter was extremely detailed...heaven forbid he get the wrong thing!!! But one little boy touched my heart so much. We asked the children to name 3 things they wanted for Christmas in their letter, and 2 of the 3 things this little boy wanted were for his brothers. He is only 4! He is already giving unto others and unselfish. He doesn't want the gifts, he would rather see his brothers get something. We didn't say, "What do your brothers want for Christmas?" We said, "What do YOU want for Christmas?" He thought of his brothers and what they might like all on his own. Adorable. Amazing.
Merry Christmas!
