The "Breaking News: There Really Is A Santa, Megan!" Story

Letter Santa and Elf Shimmer sent to Megan
telling her of the loss of her letter this past
Christmas.  Please click on images to enlarge.

It was an ordinary day.  Just received an email from Megan which included a letter she had recently received from Santa and his elf Shimmer.  Story started back in December of 2017 when Megan sent a letter to Santa telling him what she would like to have for Christmas.  Seems that the letter must have been at the bottom of his immense mail bag and he never had the chance to read it before Christmas.  I'm not sure if Megan ever received all the gifts she was wishing for, but if she did she was lucky since Santa never found her letter until a few weeks ago.  I should tell you that Megan is 11 years old and is the oldest daughter of my niece Kelly and her husband Shawn who live in nearby Ephrata, Pennsylvania.  

I'm sure that when Megan's mom and dad gave her the unopened letter recently sent to her, from Santa and his elf, she was amazed.  What are the chances that Santa would do that almost half a year after the letter was written to him.  Even I know that Santa must be something special to take time to send a letter to this young girl almost half a year after Christmas.  Megan shared the letter with her parents and siblings and decided to write her own letter telling of her experience of receiving the letter and her thoughts of Santa.  Trying to figure what a very sensitive and respectful young girl is thinking can be tough, but I have included the letter telling of Megan's impression of Santa after finding out he had misplaced her letter.  Please read it and see for yourself what this young girl's feelings are after receiving Santa's letter explaining why he didn't deliver to her what she had been wishing for this past Christmas.  Megan found and felt the goodness and love of Santa even after he had lost her letter.  What a wonderful story to share with children all over the world.  Christmas is more than half a year away, but for Megan, well she already has the Christmas spirit in her heart!  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
