Believing in Wonderland...

Christmas time makes me wish I was kid again. The years when we believed that Santa does climb down windows and fairies do take us to wonderlands.

We were kids then – my sis & I. Setting up a Christmas tree with a shining star, hanging our red socks by the window with our names on them, sure that Santa would leave us a gift and a note. Unfailingly, for years… And one particular note always comes to my mind, no words forgotten – ‘Since it was very cold, I could not come down the window. So I am sending you some money to buy whatever you want. Love, Santa.’

So we all knew that Santa was no one else but dad & mom. But it was such a comfort to live in the magic of the moment.
Years gone by and I still hang my kinda’ worn-out red sock on the curtain near my window on Christmas eve. Maybe it’s habit, and a dash of hope, that I check it the 1st thing on 25th morning. Of course it’s empty. Santa wouldn’t possibly walk in to my room to stuff it with gifts & trinkets. It makes me sad. And breaks my heart...

I wish time stood still… I wish I were back home again, back in time, in the magic of the moment…
