What I asked Santa for Christmas

Dear Santa,

I've always believed in the power of prayer, faith, hard work and an optimistic attitude. I never stopped believing in you and your mission to share unselfishly and to be grateful for the simple pleasures in life. I want you to know I've tried to be good this year. I've been working hard to fulfill a dream that requires a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Sometimes I've wanted to give in but something burns in me and won't leave me alone. This passion and drive have helped me to understand what it means to live. I want for Christmas is the faith to go the distance and finish what I've started.
