For many, Christmas feels like a commercial holiday, even a financial burden, completely devoid of spiritual value. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus reminds us that Santa is not a mythical delivery man of superficial consumerism and material goods. He is the tangible reminder that wishes do come true and joy can appear out of thin air, if only we take the time to foster it. Christmas is not about material gifts. It is a reminder that life is a gift. Our existence is a miracle. Every day is an opportunity for salvation and rebirth. Every moment is a chance to intentionally foster love and joy. Every year, Santa Claus reminds all of us to enthusiastically expect the impossible and to believe in the unseen. For the existence of that which cannot be seen - love, joy, wonder, hope, excitement and Santa Claus himself - are the very things that make life worth living. Witnessing a child's excitement on Christmas morning reminds us that life is full of miracles. Only by seeing the world anew through a child's eyes, can we once again become aware of the magic that exists in our daily lives.
