Merry Christmas Everyone

Message From Santa Claus

If it were in my powers,
I would bring peace and love,
To this world of ours,
But I don't have magic enough,
I can cross the sky,
and pass by the stars,
But I can't seem to stop,
Any of hatred's wars,
I see children on the street,
With no hope left,
in the eyes.
So many homeless people
with no where to sleep.
And my heart cries.
I can't give the things they need,
Oh But God I would try.
I'm only a fantasy,
that once took wings to fly,
Some are deceived,
by the gifts that money can buy,
But those who truly believe,
see the gift with the heart,
not with the eye,
I sometime stop and go to my knees,
and pause,
and I too always pray,
That we will find a end to wars,
and live in peace one day.
For all those who believe in me,
I will continue my cause,
Across the stars,
over the wars,
On Christmas Eve,
For the hearts that still believe,
In Santa Claus

Here it is!

Santa Claus!

Well, my scanner is broken so I can't get the picture up here yet, but I am working on it.

We went to the mall to see Santa today. I was anticipating an obnoxious Gavin and trying to get a picture with him and Sophia and Santa that looked like something out of a Vacation movie. I got a little break! Sophia, who for the last 2 Christmas's has screamed bloody murder at the sight of Santa, did very well. She was a little cautious at first, giving him high five and a hug before climbing into his lap. I think Sophia rubbed off on Gavin and before I knew it he was in Santa's lap too. He was tentative and we never did get a picture of him smiling in the pictures, but he did smile. Santa was terrific. He gave them candy and color books. So overall I am a very pleased mommy.
