I wanted something magical and exciting to help the Christmas season in
this year but I wanted to help keep our focus on Christ too. This was
just a way I have tried to do that. Nothing fancy. but something magical. This is what Eli did while the boys were sleeping last night. It sure helped them get out of bed in the morning to go look for him. LOVE THE MAGIC IN BELIEVING!
Dear
Gideon and Bridger,
Well, Well,
Well, 2 of my favorite children….. How
are you on this Beautiful day?
First
off, I am writing to you to let you know how much I think you are amazing, wonderful,
good little people and I love you so much.
I wanted to tell you something important. You know all about my naughty or nice list
right? Well, the truth is, it’s not
really true. (I know it’s a shocker
right?!!!) I don’t have a naughty or nice list.
I know Jesus and Heavenly Father and I know they
love us regardless of the choices we make.
It is through the Atonement of Jesus Christ that we are able to repent
and do better and that we are able to return to Heavenly Father and Jesus in
heaven again someday. I know you know
about this too. Like when you make a bad
choice, your father in Heaven and Your brother Jesus Christ Love you still and
your parents love you too and give you a second chance to make things right. It is through love that we are given so much.
So if you believe I will come to your house on
Christmas Eve and leave you some special surprises, then I will come!! That is all you need…. is to Believe!!!
To help
you remember the atonement and remember to love one another this Christmas
Season I am sending you a special friend of mine to visit and stay with you
during this magical season.
This is
Eli the Elf…….
He is a
dear friend of mine, but he tends to be a bit naughty. I have taught him about love and the
atonement and how we can become better when we make mistakes but sometimes he
forgets. He is beginning to learn but I thought if he stayed with you during
the Christmas season, then you might be able to teach him some more about the
way Jesus loves us even when we make bad choices. We want to become more like Christ and make
good choices so we can return to him again.
Can you help Eli and teach him how to be good? I hope so.
One
important thing about Eli …he is an elf and elves are not the same as
humans. Eli stays still all during the
day and comes alive at night. You can
talk with him and play with him just like you do with leopard seal and wolfy,
they are not alive like you, but they can still hear you and play with you and
love you. Eli is quiet during the day,
but loves to play at night time when everyone is sleeping. That is usually when he can get into some
trouble so you’ll have to watch him carefully!
When I
told Eli he was going to be staying with you he jumped up and down with
Excitement. He loves you two and thinks
you are so fun. He also can’t wait to
meet your baby sister. Take Care of him
and have fun. Maybe take a picture of
Eli with you and send me a picture. I
will be back on Christmas Eve to pick him up.
I love you very much. Enjoy the
Christmas season!
Love,
SANTA
