Thank You Letter To Santa Claus

Thank you Santa Claus,

Growing up I started thinking about Christmas after Halloween. Yes, Thanksgiving, I do enjoy stuffing my face with delicious food, but Christmas is just the icing on top of the cake for the year.

Santa Claus, you truly are my first long distance best friend. I sent you letters every year. Sometimes you responded, but I knew you were busy with every single kid in the world so you didn’t always get to me. Santa, I knew you were always there when I asked for something. I wanted to be on the nice list so bad, when my parents would say, “Santa is always watching,” I truly believed them. I believed that a big man in the North Pole who surrounds himself with three feet tall elves somehow could watch me. Creepy, now that I look back at it.

Santa, I just want to say thank you for making me happy for so many years. I made a list, and you checked it twice. You got everything right, and the only way I could say thank you every year was with cookies and milk. That’s all you wanted, Santa; I would of given you the world if I could.

Thank you, Santa, for showing me that miracles do happen. If an overweight man with a snow white beard can fly around the whole world with nine reindeer and then somehow magically fit down a chimney and deliver gifts to every boy and girl, then anything can happen.

Thank you, Santa, for bringing joy, happiness and excitement to the millions of people in the world, it seems that everyone gets a joint of energy when December flips open to the calendar. People’s bad news seems to disappear for a few days of the year. They put all their responsibilities on the back burner and instead of dealing with them, they look to you. Thank you for that, thank you for always having the millions of people’s backs.

Thank you Santa for always having a knee to sit on. It seems so harmless, right? Just go sit on Santa’s lap and tell him everything you want this year. No, Santa, I know your knees have to be achy, that the millions of kids sitting on your lap during the holidays has to be a wear and tear on you, but just know that we are all thankful for you just for little things like that.


Santa, thank you for bringing my family together every year, and that my family has made it another year together. Without you, my family wouldn’t have a reason to come around and give gifts to each other to show how much we actually care for each other.

From the bottom my heart, Santa Claus, I say thank you for the past 20 years.

P.S I would like a red riffle bb gun for Christmas -- oh, and maybe a new car if you're really feeling generous.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
