Nice to meet you…Mr. Santa…

On the eve of Christmas I would request you to excuse me from my usual writing about Marketing or Technology.

On this Christmas, when I am missing someone very special, I am wondering what if we “Be a Santa”.

On the eve of this Christmas I am thinking about the concept of Santa or rather let me be direct  - “What is a form of Santa”?  Does he comes in form of mother who quietly keeps a gift under your bed in the night, does he comes in a form of a smile from a new born, does he comes in a form of a first kiss from someone you love, does in comes in a form of friend when you are down, does he comes as a warmth of a blanket for a needy person on a road, does he comes in form of words that says I LOVE YOU to someone special, does he comes in form of sleep when you are tired or does he comes in a form of a hot meal for someone needy on the cold winter nights.  I guess, and I think that all these are forms of a Santa. 

This Christmas “I” feel that is he a form of hope? I love Christmas, but this Christmas I am missing someone who means Christmas to me. So for me this Christmas my Santa is in a form of HOPE. Hope of the day when I will enjoy my Christmas with my Christmas.

Not going much emotional I would like to request all….that we all can be Santa’s; at least for a day. Lets be a hope for someone. Let us without worrying about “donation”, gift a present to someone who might be in a need of that. I know we all love our things .... but I am sure we all can manage to find something to part with. This parting can transform into a gift for someone this Christmas. If nothing else we can gift a smile & wish to someone on the road a “Merry Christmas”.

Don’t you feel that Santa has “authorized” us to work on his behalf, and I am sure I can manage to convince him to use his “authorized seal”  through which he bring the message of happiness and hope all across.

A Santa’s “authorized seal” could be in a form a shirt you don’t wear, pants that does not fit right, shoes that are out of fashion, cap that has lost its shine, toys that are not interesting anymore or anything that you may thing is useless. So let us make you less of your useless to make it a use for someone else.

Please……let bring the Santa hidden somewhere deep in us to spread the message of happiness and hope; at least for a single day of Christmas…….. but preferably for the lifetime.  Please be the hope for a small kid or an old granny to fight cold this winter on the road.

On this day of Christmas don’t be rational or think……….. just do it. I am sure I am excited to meet the “Santa” in you.

Nice to Meet YOU !!! and MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!!!
