It makes me so sad when adults cannot grasp the magical world that children can believe in. The Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, Santa, all have make-believe abilities to reach out around the world and for one moment make the life of a child that much more special. Yes they do grow up, and yes they will realise that it isn’t true. Why anyone would want to destroy the magic and wonder just because they want the child to grow up and realise life isn’t like that is beyond me. We all believed in the Easter Bunny, and the Tooth Fairy, and Santa, we believed that a bunny could deliver millions of eggs, that a tiny fairy took away our teeth, and that a happy man in a red suit visited all the good boys and girls around the world.
The world is a hard enough place to be in, and if a mythical man flying around the world with 8 reindeer brings happiness to a child, so what! Far better to have something to believe in, than to have no dreams at all.
