A sweet story and your mother sounds like she was a beautiful woman. I now see where you get it. To me, Santa Claus is also the embodiment of the ability to believe in something unseen. It is sad that we lose that ability as we grow older. Our wisdom and desire to accumulate knowledge seems to make it impossible to just believe in the magic of a moment or that there is something that can't be explained at work in the universe, something just that just is. When I was about 5, on my way to my aunt's house for Christmas Eve, I looked up in the sky and saw Santa and his reindeer through the eyes of a child. It was such a vivid moment, I still think maybe he was painted on the side of a helicopter except no one saw him but me. Belief of a child, hopefully still alive in hearts everywhere.
Hope you had a Merry Christmas, Dascha!

Thank you for bringing your creativity and kindness into the world through your writing Dascha!
A centering meditation for Santa during the busy, rushed delivery time of year is a good idea.
It sounds like your Mom had the true spirit of Christmas, indeed. Merry Christmas.
Wouldn't be without it living in the country. I have never seen so much wind as we are having this year. Its enough to drive you crazy after a while.
We are just getting horrendous winds. Keeps knocking out the power. Thankfully, we have a wood fireplace so we have heat and a place to cook.
We've got green grass and just hovering around zero. Rain but not snow. I think we traded weather with you guys on the west coast.
Merry Christmas Sis!!
A beautiful share, Dascha. Merry Christmas and may your Mother's spirit visit each of us 🏡🎄🤗
Your mom sounds amazing. You take after her.
Merry Christmas, Dascha!
Merry Christmas, Dascha!
