| December 6th |
Have a holly, jolly Christmas
And when you walk down the street
Say hello to friends you know
And everyone you meet.
Dear Carol Bells,
Carol, your smile lights up the room. It's very rare during this season. Heck, even during the year it's rare. That's why I chose this song today. I don't know what burdens you carry but I plan on carrying them with you. Actually, better yet, getting rid of them permanently. Someone as pure as you doesn't deserve it.
However, I'm not perfect either. Quite presumptuous of me to assume I could be perfect. I wish I could be. For you. Then you wouldn't fear me hurting you somehow and I wouldn't fear disappointing you like someone must have once upon a time.
But the reason for your smile? I watched you reading my fourth letter. You have been incredibly busy. In fact, all of Merry's was. So nobody had noticed the letter addressed to you until yesterday after I added the fifth one.
Gosh, you gave me butterflies when you smiled and let a little snort of laughter slip. No doubt laughing at my misfortune with rambling. But it was worth it if it got you truly cheered up. Even if for a few seconds.
I couldn't stay long to see the rest of your reaction for the fifth letter. After all, I had my niece pulling at my pant leg begging for us to hurry back home to watch Christmas movies that are now playing. Her favorite right now is How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
She likes to say I'm like the Grinch. I honestly have no idea why though. I may not be the best looking guy but I like to think I'm fairly good looking. And I'm not grouchy or moody. In fact, I love Christmas.
Would it be too much to joke around and say you are similar to the Grinch in the aspect of being very moody during this time? If so, I deeply apologize. Sometimes I just can't help the comparisons that spring up.
Yours,
Saint Nick
