Hubby is a professional real bearded Santa. This last weekend we went to the Mall of America for a MN Santa Kick-Off Party. There were 126 real bearded Santa’s in attendance. The largest real bearded Santa party ever held in Minnesota.

There are 8 Santa Oaths that are agreed to and signed. In a little girl who was 4 or 5 years old I saw oath #7 come to life.

“I promise to use "my" powers to create happiness, spread love and make fantasies come to life in the true and sincere tradition of the Santa Claus Legend.”

He knelt down and reached into his pouch and said “I have magic dust in here that will help you grow, can I sprinkle some on you?” The little girl emphatically shook her head yes! The boys were a little less certain but they said yes.

As the children were walking away from Santa, the little girl was gently touching her hair and looking at her fingers trying to see the magic dust. I asked her if Santa gave her some magic dust? She barely shook her head and softly said, “yes”.
'' Oh, my heart just melted. How precious and trusting is this little girl to believe without hesitation. This pure, unbiased, true belief is the magic of Christmas. As we get into the busyness of the Christmas season we must remember this little girl who believes.
