Letter to Santa

Dear Santa,

I've never written one of these before. I'm not really sure how this works. There's nothing  materialistic that I want really. I'm lucky and have a job and an amazing family, whom I can't be with this Christmas, and have everything that I need. I can live comfortably with what I have. For that I am grateful.

I'm not sure if you grant other wishes. If it is possible then I would like a few things. I'd like to find a career that I want to pursue. I'm not really sure what to do with my life at the moment. I'm not sure what the next step is. All I know is that I will return to England and will try to pursue as many things as possible in order to work out what to do with my life. Whatever that may be.

It would also be nice if some good things could happen to my family, friends and students. I'm not sure how you work out who's been naughty and nice, but I do believe they're all good people at heart. They've made the last 2 years of my life more bearable and amazing than I could have imagined. Without them I probably wouldn't have enjoyed my experience in Korea half as much as I have. They've made me smile and laugh, and given me some great moments to remember for the rest of my life.

Christmas is the time of year when people are a bit more giving and caring than usual. So I would appreciate it if you would be the same and spare time to grant even one of these wishes.

It must be tiresome reading and granting these wishes. But I think you are a good example of what people need to be like. People need to take more time to stop and listen and to do good deeds for other people just for goodness' sake. I've always been a strong believer of this and I'm still striving to achieve this. It's hard because people aren't always good and people don't always seem to deserve good things, but we don't have the right or power to take away happiness. Only to give it, if we choose to. Corny, I know. But I think you can understand what I mean and where I'm coming from.

Merry Christmas! May all of your wishes come true.
