Twas Some Nights Before Christmas
By DEANNA DAHLSAD
Children enjoy the magic and the excitement of the season, largely due to
Santa, who magically brings them surprises. As children, it's fun to
believe in the legends, lore and magic of elves, Santa Claus and Saint
Nick, especially when they prove their existence by bringing gifts!
But as adults, we often lose the joy of Christmas. As we take on the
role of Santa, we trade the belief in magic for the role of magician.
And as we do that, a little of the magic dies for us. We no longer
enjoy the legends and lore because now we see how the magic is wrought.
Wouldn't it be great to believe in something again? Something exciting
to overcome the boredom. Something we'd be excited to believe in.
Someone to snap and awaken us from our daily grind and bring us the
mythos of the season. Perhaps what we adults need is a more
sophisticated holiday figure than Santa. Someone more cool than Saint
Nick...
What we need is Beat Nick!

Next year, I plan on starting Beat Nick sightings for my adult friends - I have already sent this ecard so they will know what I am talking about :p
