Santa Baby

How do you handle someone with a gift. Let's say you have the gift to grant someone any wish that they want- what would you do. Let's say you have you meet someone who have the ability to grant you any wish- what would you. The first have been covered so many times, let us talk about the second.

If I meet Santa Claus, how do I approach him and tell him what I want without being 1) rude 2) insensitive 3) impersonal. You tricked him.

No one has ever thought Santa Claus as a person but as a cardboard character whom you wish and expect to be given something. You see meeting Santa Claus is like meeting your grandfather or your boss whom grant you anything you want provided you are nice to him. If you treat Santa Claus as a stereotype and he/she really exist, you will end up always wishing and yearning for something. But if you meet your boss or grandfather, you can actually get something out of him/her.

If you really meet Santa Claus on the street and he/she doesn't tell you so, why don't you trick him/her like how you would treat your boss/grandfather into giving a brand new car or a promotion. You see it is twofold 1) he/she cannot do any wrong, so he/she cannot get angry for being tricked otherwise, he/she is not Santa Claus 2) You are being nice, by not stereotyping him/her.

No one actually told a story based on meeting Santa Claus, but always a story based on Santa Claus looking in. But in reality, everyone is your Santa Claus. This means that everyone that you meet is actually your potential Santa Claus. Every single person that you meet have the capability to be grant you wishes. This is because every single day, you are practicing an unequal power relationships with people whom you meet.

Every single day, you are nice to the person that is nasty to you and am loyal and faithful to your goal, your wish will be granted. Your grandfather will not like if you take the money for your brother's studies to be used to buy a new car and neither would your boss be happy if he/she promoted you because you suck up to him/her. The result is really the same, both of them will make you uncomfortable every single day until you stand up and own up to it- simply because you wish to personalize Santa Claus. But if you wish to have something and you really meet Santa Claus, all wishes must be sincere.

But if you see Santa Claus and did not make a wish not on purpose but feel that he/she is "off duty", you have finally understood the real meaning of Christmas. Everyone can make a wish but no one can grant you a wish but yourself.

Merry Christmas. A week early that is.
