Wishing it was 1976 again.

Maybe not that particular year but back then I was a little guy - I still believed in Santa and the magic of Christmas. Reality has jumped up amd sunk it's teeth into my behind. Now, the magic is gone and I have to deal with estrangement and the pain my mom goes through today because two of her sons aren't speaking. I wish it was different. I've reached out but he just won't listen. And, Mom suffers the most. I feel sad about that. How I feel about my brother: 🫂 Merry Christmas, all.

Enjoy my little story

Once upon a time, in a small town, lived a woman named Human. Though she was an adult, she never lost the magic of childhood, especially around Christmas. Every year, she decorated her home with twinkling lights and hung stockings by the fireplace, just as she had done with her parents.

One snowy evening, feeling nostalgic, she decided to visit the town’s Christmas market. As she wandered among the twinkling stalls, she encountered an elderly man dressed as Santa Claus. Instead of seeing a man in a costume, Human saw the embodiment of the spirit she had cherished for so long.

“Do you still believe?” the old man asked, a twinkle in his eye.

“Of course!” Human replied, grinning.

The old man handed Human a small, beautifully wrapped gift. “Then keep believing. It keeps the magic alive.”

That night, Human opened the gift to find a simple ornament shaped like a sleigh. As she hung it on her tree, she realized that belief in Santa wasn’t just about the man in red—it was about love, hope, and the joy of giving. From that day on, she carried the spirit of Santa in her heart, sharing it with everyone around her.

And every Christmas after, she celebrated not just for herself, but for the magic that could inspire all.
