  Dear Santa, I’ve been nice all my life, I just have one wish this Christmas

   

  Dear Santa,

   

  How are you? I know you’re busy this time of the year with all the presents that you need to deliver to nice kids. Well, you probably won’t remember me but I used to receive gifts and surprises from you every Christmas back then. I just want to know what happened? Have I been naughty or did I do something bad?

   

  I still remember the first time I received a gift from you. When I was 7, I told my Mama and Papa that I wanted a bicycle for Christmas. Papa said I should be a nice kid for me to receive what I want for the holiday. 

   

  And that is what I did, Santa. I studied hard and tried to be as nice as I can. That year I got the bicycle that I wanted. I even got a glimpse of your bag while you’re putting down the bike under the Christmas tree.

   

  When I was 13, you gave me the best gift I could ever receive. Whenever Papa and I went to the mall, I always looked at this cute dress in one of the stalls. It’s the light pink one with tiny ruffles in the sleeves and a hot pink ribbon at the back. I never thought that you would follow in the mall just to know what I want. I still have that dress with me after all these years.

   

  But when I was 15, Papa got sick and passed away shortly. I never saw you after that. Every Christmas, I always asked Mama if you would come back but she always said she had no idea with tears in her eyes.

   

  5 years later, I am still waiting for you to come back, Santa. I know I’ve been wishing for something impossible now and that’s probably the reason why you never visited me anymore. However, I have always had faith in you.

   

  So, I’ve been nice all these years and always wishing for the same thing. More than bikes and dresses, I just want to see my Papa for one last time. It doesn’t matter if it took me another 5 or 50 years. I’ll always be nice for you to see that I am worthy of this wish.

   

  Yours truly
