One little girl’s Christmas wish

It is that time of the year; we hustle around trying to find the perfect gift for everyone on our list.  In between checking his list twice, Santa is going around spending time with all of the kids to find out exactly what they want.  They climb up on Santa’s lap and tell him their Christmas wish when he asks “What do you want for Christmas?”

Like most larger kids (aka adults), I have been mentally working on my Christmas wish list too.  For the most part, my Christmas wish list does not include materialistic items.  There are no baby dolls or latest computer games on there. 

Instead, my Christmas wish is for simple things; good health for the next year, continue getting to do what I love (photographing your family), spending time with my family and friends and things like that.   Well, okay a new Nikon camera or Mac computer under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning – all I can say is now we are talking Santa. 

With the whisper of one little girl, my Christmas wish was changed. 

I was at a store recently and Santa was there with a line of kids waiting to tell him all of the cool toys they wanted this year when he asked them “What do you want for Christmas?”  I overheard the response of one little girl.

“I know you can't do anything, but all I want is a happy family” was her reply.

I have never seen this girl before and have no clue who she is or her story, but her few words that made up her Christmas wish has changed mine.  My Christmas wish now is that this little girl’s family finds peace and the happiness that she so longs for and that no other kid ever has to wish this for their Christmas wish. 

May the Lord Bless this little girl and grant her Christmas wish. 

Merry Christmas everyone and may God Bless you and your family too.
