GRIZZLY PEAR

written snapshots

Eight years of not-believing in Santa was enough!

You adults have no imagination. Maybe he exists after all!

She threatened to write a letter to Santa.
It’s for his eyes only!
I couldn’t read it.

But then she’s eight.
Didn’t get around to it.
Or so I thought.

The morning after Christmas,
I found a folded piece of paper under computer,
She wrote it after all!

We guessed right.
She got everything but the candy canes.
Mama maybe forgot those on purpose.
