Pixie Dust, Can I have some Santa?
From Santa’s Desk
The Main Workshop,the North Pole
Miss Joni Lynn,
It has come to my attention while going over the Naughty and Nice list that you have been oh so nice. As you well know the reward for being nice is the gift of your choosing. Intelligence has revealed that you would like pixie dust more than anything else. No dolls, make up, or puppies, but pixie dust. I understand the wish to fly as I fly every Christmas, but this is a bit of a problem for me.
You see Joni, just as you have to play by the rules to be nice I have to play by the rules when giving presents. What I mean is pixie dust is a magical substance, just like the flying reign deer that I use. But, only I can fly Rudolph, Donner, and Blitzen. Since you, Joni, are not a magical creature such as elves or fairies, I can’t give you pixie dust.
Out of fairness, I checked with Fairy Gary about giving you some pixie dust. As I suspected the rules governing pixie dust will not allow a person to have any. According to Fairy Gary only fairies can have and use pixie dust. It is the magic in the dust that helps them to fly just like the magic in the reign deer is what makes my sleigh fly.
I must admit, that would be a wonderful gift to give Miss Joni, but I cannot. However, you will find some wonderful gifts under your tree on Christmas morn. And remember to be nice to all your friends and family.
Merrily,
Santa Claus
The letter I penned to hopefully answer my nieces request for some pixie dust. I am not sure how she will take it, but with some luck, she will understand. I am not fond of lying to children, however I find it liberating to encourage the child's imagination as thoughtfully as I can (plus who doesn't want to be Santa for only a day). I trust she will still beleive in Santa for another few years, that is if I haven't screwed it up for her.
