Monday’s Devotion: Letters to Santa

Matthew 11:25  At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.

When we lived in Loganville I loved to read the children’s letters to Santa in the Walton Tribune.  Every year school teachers would have their class write letters and send them in to be published.  Some were funny, some were touching and some downright sad.  As the saying goes “Out of the mouths of babes….”  I typed some up one year to save and thought I’d share a couple with you this morning and in my Christmas sermons. 

Dear Santa,
How are you doing? I bet it’s a realy hard making toys cause it so cold. Are the elves working hard? If they’re not fire them! Is Mrs. Claus doing good? How about Rudolph? I hope his nose is still glowing. Ill right, here’s what I want for Christmas….From, Zack

Dear Santa,
I bet it will be cold when you are passing out presents. But when you get to Hawaii, you might need to take some clothes off! I would want some Hellies, a Playstation 2. You gave my favorite present on my first Christmas a great family. Have a great Christmas. Love, your friend Austin.

Dear Santa
I know I haven’t been doing good in school but can you give me one more chance to be good? If I’m going to be good can I at least get an e-box 360 and games for it?  Love Eli

Dear Santa,
I have been very good ask my teacher and not my mom.

Dear Santa,
I am ready for you at my house. And I got a song for you. Jingle bells batman smells and I want football stuff. Love, Matthew

Dear Santa,
I want a remot control car for Christmas. Mama had srgre. Please bring her a present to. Love Raekwon

Let’s continue to pray for babies as I mentioned recently and this week would you say special prayers for children?  I am especially concerned about the many children who find themselves homeless at Christmas.  While we gather with family around our groaning tables and trees surrounded by gifts, let’s remember those who won’t be doing that.
