Myth Number One states that if a child is good all year and he writes a Santa letter, he or she will receive a letter from Santa. The myth is TRUE. Many children have received letters from Santa Clause. There are, however, stipulations to this rule that have to be understood and met. For instance, Santa Clause, as we all know, is a very busy fella. He has millions of toys to make and oversee the making of, and he has to stay right on top of things in order for the North Pole to run smoothly. He has the naughty and nice list, which he has to check twice, by the way. If you are on the naughty list, you may not get a letter from Santa, although there have been exceptions to that rule. Also, you have to ask Santa Clause in your letter if you can find the time, would he mind writing you back. If you do not ask, he will assume that you do not want him to and he is very busy so give him some time.
Myth number two states that animals talk to each other at midnight on Christmas Eve. This Myth is also TRUE. Animals all over the world have a small window of opportunity to speak at exactly midnight on Christmas Eve. The reason so very few people have heard this is because most animals do not have anything to say that they have not already said in their own language. The ones that do speak take the opportunity to wish each other Merry Christmas. Animals will not speak if they know you are listening. In 1919, Dairy farmer John Miller of Papillion Nebraska was standing quietly outside his barn at midnight of Christmas Eve when all the cows started wishing each other Merry Christmas. He told everyone what he heard but no one believed him and people laughed, calling him “that crazy farmer that talks to cows” for many years.
Myth number three says that once you are on the naughty list, you are there to stay for the rest of the year. This myth is FALSE. Santa Clause checks the naughty and nice list twice, once in March and once in early December. If you were bad and are on the list in march but have since been good and have made up for your bad actions, Santa will take you off the naughty list and put you back on the nice list. The trick, however, is to be nice all the time. This way, you never have to worry about it.
Myth number four says that without Santa, there is no Christmas. This myth is FALSE. Santa Clause is here because of Christmas, not the other way around. Christmas is the spirit of love and giving that resides in the hearts of all of mankind. That is why we are called manKIND. All the good that is in us is rolled up into a big spirit and celebrated on Christmas day because we are grateful for the sacrifice that one made to ensure that we are forgiven of the bad things that we do. Christmas is a birthday. It is a time of year when we recognize the greatest gift, we have ever received, and that is the gift of grace. Santa is the good things about all people rolled up into one jolly old elf that loves to give gifts and loves people, especially children because they are so nice.
Myth number five says that Santa will not come if we are awake. This myth is FALSE. Santa uses the magic of the Spirit of Christmas to make sure that you will fall asleep before he comes and if you do not, he uses it to make himself very quiet and very quick. This way, he can deliver all the toys he has to deliver without having to stop and sign autographs and have his picture taken at every house he stops in. There is no way Santa could finish if he had to do that. However, sometimes, if you are very quiet and if you do not disturb him, Santa will let you hear him and even see him. So keep your ears open this Christmas and if you hear Santa or catch a peak of him flying through the night sky, do not disturb him, he is very busy!
