We come across so many things, events and moments in life which makes you ask the obvious "Why, What, How, When, Who etc".
"My 2 Cents" is my personal opinion and thoughts that I love to share with my friends.

Can we become Santa for someone?
During my elementary and middle school years, typically from Christmas Eve to the New Year, school remained closed for winter vacation. A brief 7-10 days was a welcome change for me, with lots of play time and the holiday eating (the Christmas Cake, or the Plum/Fruit Cake). In a small town in those days, one didn’t have a lot of choices, but the spiced-up cake with lots of dry fruits still lingers in my senses. Little did I know until much later that these dry fruits and nuts were soaked in rum. But then who cares 😊 The concept of Santa giving away gifts was like a fairy tale to me as a child, and I would always wonder if there was someone really riding a sleigh all across the globe, fulfilling dreams. Today, Christmas is being celebrated worldwide as a time of giving, spreading happiness, and love. To me, Santa represents the following 1. Someone who is kind and generous – Has a big heart and is always willing to give to everyone, irrespective of who they are and where they are from 2. Who is cheerful and joyful – We all have our share of struggles or agony in life, and it is in relative magnitudes; however, Santa is always smiling and laughing, creating an atmosphere of fun and joy 3. Patience and understanding – Be it the small kids or the elderly, everyone is happy to get a picture taken with Santa. He is happy to hold the small kids and is patient with everyone who needs that extra time or wants that extra nudge. 4. Rewards good behaviour – One would hear parents telling their kids that if they behave in the right way and are nice, Santa will fulfil their dreams. Essentially, always reward good behaviour and character. Even though Santa is mythical or imaginary, is it to bring in some characteristics in our present times? Would it be a big ask of us to be kind, a little joyful, and be more understanding with the people around us? Finally, could we be fair and reward the good? ✨ Season’s greetings! Wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas filled with gratitude, joy, and meaningful moments. hashtag#seasonshashtag#greetingshashtag#joyhashtag#thankful
