The "Magic" of Santa

So, there is nothing better than a story that actually happened to someone.

Yesterday my daughter took my Granddaughter (age 8 just)and Grandson (age 5) to see Santa. Right before they left they got into a brother sister arguement and my daughter and her husband sat them down and lectured them on getting along.

Once they got to Santa, they told him what they wanted etc., and then he looked at them and he said (out of the clear blue) "now, I want you two children to quit fighting and get along, can you do that for me." And they with surprised looks on their faces said "yes Santa."

Then my daughter took her daughter to go to a store to buy a gift for her friend. As they were walking down the Mall my Grandaughter said "was that the "real" Santa?" My daughter answered "no, that was a representative for Santa while he is getting ready to come down next week." My Granddaughter then said "how do you think that he knew that my brother and I had been arguing?" As my daughter tried to think about what to say next, my Granddaughter said "I guess that is why they say that it is " Christmas is magic."

This story made me smile and I thought I would share it with you.
