When I was a child, I used to hang stockings and pray that Santa would fill them up. And Santa always do, but he never seemed to get my message correctly because he always end up giving me the things I did not ask for. But I always keep the gifts I find in my stockings and always hope that Santa would find the time to listen more carefully to my prayers the next time I ask.
Well, Santa never did. So I stopped asking for gifts from him. I stopped hanging my stockings and stopped expecting for his gifts. There are no more stockings to fill, so what will I expect?
Its been years since the last time I ask Santa for a gift, and I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask again. Would Santa listen to a 19 year old? I should think not. I think everybody could be a child regardless of age. Age is just a number, childhood is in the heart.
But then, this Christmas, I wouldn't ask my gift from Santa. I think it would be much better if I ask it directly from his superior, Christ, for whom Christmas is celebrated.
This year, I'll ask Christ to bless my family. I would ask him to heal the wounds that each of us feels. I'll pray to Him so He would strengthen my family, so He could stop them from hurting each other, so He could make them love each other again.
I hope Christ will let me see my friends. Those who have left and has been gone for a long time. I hope He would give me the chance to see them again.
I pray to Christ that my family will know love and happiness again. I hope He could make them see the importance of each one and stop hating each other. I hope Christ will make them stop competing with each other and make them see that they compliment each other.
I hope Christ will give me the power to make people stop hating each other, so I could do something for the world.
And if Christ is really listening to the desires of my heart, I wish He could send these gifts right away so we could spend a truly happy Christmas this year.
And I hope he'll make Santa hear more clearly, so he'll stop sending me the wrong gifts...
