My dad was driving downtown to shop and I was going along for the 51 .At least that was what I had told him— 52 I had an important question to ask—that had been on my 53 for a couple of weeks and this was the first time I had been able to 54 with him alone.
“Dad…”I started. And 55 .
“Yup?” he said.
“The kids say there is no Santa Claus. They say I’m 56 to believe in Santa anymore…it’s only for little kids. But I believe what you told me. Santa is 57 .He is, isn’t he, Dad?”
“The real life and spirit of this 58 elf(精灵)lives forever in your heart, my heart, Mom’s heart and in the hearts and minds of 59 people who believe in the joy that 60 to others brings. The real 61 of Santa becomes what you can give 62 what you get. Once you understand this and it becomes a 63 of you, Christmas becomes even more exciting and more magical 64 you come to realize the magic comes from you when Santa 65 in your heart. Do you understand what I am 66 to tell you?”
My heart was filled with pride and I’m sure my eyes were shining with excitement.” Of course, Dad. I want him to be in my heart, just like he’s in yours. I love you, Daddy. You’re the best Santa there ever was in the whole world.”
When it comes time in my life to 67 the reality of Santa Claus to my children, I hope that I will be as eloquent(有口才)and 68 as my dad was the day I learned that the spirit of Santa Claus doesn’t wear a red 69 .And I hope they will be as 70 as I was that day. I trust them totally and I think they will.
