Do You Believe In Fairies...



Have you ever  believed in fairies’???..or Santa Claus....????? Have you ever believed in pixies or magical mushrooms....or pixie dust and goblins????

Have you ever believed in magic????

I still remember  I was  four...and it was Christmas Night....my dad waking me up and telling me that Santa had left me presents....and me and my sister running to our Christmas tree....and seeing presents lying below the tree...and I indeed believed that Santa had left them for me.  Over the years  I wrote letters to Santa...left it on the Christmas tree....sometimes writing stuff like...I was a good girl this year....and that I don’t want anything for Christmas except for my family and I want my daddy to be there with me always.....

But when I realised that there was no  such thing as Santa Claus...at that very moment I  think I grew up...I stopped believing in magic and fairies and reindeers ....but whenever I  read an Enid Blyton book...I could never stop myself from  imagining pixie cottages surrounded by honeysuckle and primroses and  talking yellow canaries and wizards and gnomes...because somewhere within I just never wanted to grow up.....

I think telling a child that angels or fairies  don’t exist is like telling him that he has no imagination....I sometimes wonder why are children trying to grow up so fast....why are they losing their  childish instincts. Children are the most beautiful creatures on earth....they can believe in magic or angels, they can smile in the most beautiful way that can make all your sadness just go away....their innocence can make you wonder what  have we become...

I think I ought to thank my parents who never stopped me from imagining and believing in beautiful things like fairy tales and magic...who brought me all these wonderful books...and taught me the spirit of  Christmas and how even if your 21 , and you’re stuck in some subway...or even if you’re in some investment bank running figures on futures, options or swaps...you can still imagine the most beautiful things and you can never stop the child within you from  imagining and most importantly believing in magic ......
