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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
