Dear Saint Nicholas,

Hello seems boring right? hey, I am Tara Sharma.

first of all, I like to say thank you because of you, our winter vacation duration goes longer. While everybody was preparing for this holiday, I found a way to talk to you directly.

I know that if I read this letter in the school assembly everybody will laugh at me accept you. I am a crazy person but logics are enough to prove me right.

We are living in a Varanasi where there is no Christmas trend but we are living in India. It has a diversifying culture so we Indians celebrate each festival.

I like the western stories of the fourth-century about you it is delightful.

Identifying your Santa Claus

What most of our population knows about you?

Your portrait is like a light-hearted man having a white fluffy prolonged beard Wearing a red overcoat with white outlining fur and cuffs, with matching red hats and trousers, with a black leather belt and winter boots and bearing a bag full of gifts for children.

My understanding of you:

It is my philosophy about you, I never believe the image set by someone else. I consciously identify things deeply then I believe in it. It doesn’t mean that I disrespect any religion. I am not discussing these concepts with skeptic people and I don’t give any suggestions to anyone about that.

The identity of being a Santa simply means that A person who is humble, kind, caring, helping others not only children is a Santa in my opinion.

I know my letter is not going anywhere or not going to accepted by anyone who only believes in the term of religion. I am not creating any mess about you.

It’s not about identity it is about the entity. wherever we are living whatever we do and ready to serve help care and offer something to someone who is doing a favor without accepting anything in return, A man or woman or a kid.

Your stories and your character sets a great example to support humanity.

Every Christmas I see Santa Claus spread love and care all over the world they don’t wear these clothes but you can identify them.

Santa Claus is everywhere

Maybe they are hidden in the identities of teachers, parents, relatives, friends, strangers, barber, beautician, milkman, farmers, shopkeepers, soldiers, sweepers, professionals, etc.

I feel grateful to all of them who work hard first and then get the money in return.

Santa Claus in this era has different meaning.

Here I completely agree that you have something extraordinary that is why you are so famous and peoples are following you.

The best part is your stories are really magical I saw the kids with a smile on their faces after hearing your name.

You are so popular on serials, telefilms, movies, cartoons, and songs.

I love this thing that if someone tries to copy you, it benefited our society.

Santa Claus is coming to the town the kid’s faces are like blossoms,

your name is enough to feel awesome.

We enjoyed today helping others for free and

saying thank you to those who have helped us for free.

Every year on this very beautiful occasion I believe finding a Santa and sending a thankyou note to them is better than asking something from them. I know if my Mumma found this letter she will feel proud of me.

This will be a first-ever thank you note by my side.

I am always ready for giving a favor. I copied this letter and already sent this to everyone who helped me in my difficult situation. I feel this will be the best thing I planned today, I shared this idea to Ira and Ipshita both are ready to help someone else.

They collected all their toys, clothes, unused stuff and ready with their thankyou note.

Today I left two letters in my parent’s bedroom. We planned all this yesterday and now at 9 pm, I am feeling so relaxed after doing that.

It was something unique and exciting thing I did this year.

We went for a treat with my parents and then we came back then I saw one gift on my study table and the other on my window side. I don’t know what it is? It is the most satisfying thing I was a little lazy but I am glad I did that.

The dinner was too good You know what I am little foodie, so I ate well

And the sweets were so delicious. I love sweets too.

Now I am a little tired so going for a long sleep.

I hope this letter will make you happy wherever you are I don’t know whether I am superstitious or not.

The idea of being a Santa Claus to someone is needy is better than waiting for a Santa Claus to come and make your wish come true.

Thank you

Namaste from India,

“Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”

It is a Sanskrit phrase, Mostly used came from Maha Upanishad,

Vasudha — means ‘ World’ or ‘Earth’, Iva — means ‘ Like’, Kutumbakam — means ‘family’ . Unite these words into a meaninfgul sentence we will get this-

“The world is one family”.

This letter is totally different from others because I used tara’s name to tell my philosophy. I try to explain by her side.

What did you think about this concept? Share your true experience on responses.

My definition of Santa Claus

I like to tell you my self-realization about Santa,

These things are directly coming from my heart

  1. Finding Santa Claus in others.
  2. Being your own Santa.
  3. Don’t wait for Santa to full fill your dream.
  4. Contribute and become someone else’s, Santa Claus
  5. Thank you to everyone.
