Growing up, Santa always seemed to be quite cold when he wrote us notes on Christmas.
His handwriting was all squiggly and jiggly supposedly from his shivers.
I don’t have any of his notes, but that same Santa wrote MY kids a few notes in years past. Here’s one of them:
(I think he wrote a similar note to all the grandkids…)
It’s funny how now that I have kids, Santa does the same thing.
Every year.
So my heart melted when I found this note from one of our Christmas season “Secret Santa’s Helpers” to another:
If those “shakey” letters are so passed down from one generation to the next, it makes me think about all the other things I must be passing down to these children of mine. The little things and the big things.
I sure hope they’ll remember and emulate the good at least a little more than the huffy bad 🙂

Can I just say that I love your family? The example your parents set for you is amazing, and it sure seems like you and Dave are emulating that to a tee. 🙂
You and Dave are the definition of deliberate parents. A wonderful example to me and all the other parents out in cyber space. THANK YOU!!!
Love this, very Tolkien! Check out "Letters from Father Christmas" it's a favourite around my house during the Holidays!
That is so cute! There are things I do now that were passed down from my grandparents. Now that my grandpa is gone, I love having a little piece of him with me. : )
Love seeing this! Heart heart Heart (dont' know how to do those fun little symbols…need Grace to show me)
