Dear Santa, This Christmas I Want to Be an Elf

Although a few days have passed since Christmas I thought it was worth sharing this Christmas story that will make you laugh.

Dear Santa, This Christmas I Want to Be an Elf
Disney+

A VHS laid at the bottom of the brown-old drawer that was next to my bed. The Santa Clause 2. My favorite Christmas movie of all time. I can't recount how many times I have seen this movie in my life but I can assure you I never get tired of it. I pull out the movie out of the drawer to remind myself to watch it later on the day. I continue with my chores such as cleaning my room and arranging my toys. I was 10-years-old when this "brilliant" idea came to mind. I thought it through for a moment and I couldn't find an inevitable reason for not doing it. I decided I didn't want toys or clothes or a phone that Christmas, all I wanted was to become in one of Santa's elves.

I daydreamed on the idea of building toys, wrapping gifts, making and decorating gingerbread houses, baking cookies, playing football with Santa and the other elves, and most importantly drinking Judy's very own 1200-year-old cocoa recipe.

Where did this insane idea come from you ask? The Santa Claus 2. The colorful and charm scenery, the mismatched yet good-looking outfits, the charismatic actors playing in the movie and the dreamy life of being far away from home making toys. Imagine!

Imagine my mom's reaction when she read my letter. How would she make that happen? According to her, nothing else was listed in that letter. My mom had no other choice but to confess the sad truth.

Ouch! I don't know what hurt more, knowing that Santa didn't really exist or that I would never be able to move to the North Pole to become an elf, hahaha. Up to this day, I still enjoy watching The Santa Clause 2 to remind myself of my innocent self that believed that becoming an elf could actually happen.

If you haven't watched this movie, now is the time.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
