Mom Finds Kid’s Note To Santa About Making Him Gift Instead Of Getting One

When I was a kid, I absolutely loved writing letters to Santa. I would usually just write them on Christmas Eve and leave them by the pile of cookies I put out.

Typically, I would ask Santa to bring me whatever presents I wanted, and if I was feeling really selfless, I would ask him to get the presents my brother wanted, too.

Sometimes, I would even leave him a Christmas ornament as a “thank you” for bringing us such great gifts.

I always believed I was being so thoughtful — until I read this 8-year-old’s letter to Santa.

Nadia may be young, but she already cares more about other people’s needs than her own. The sweet girl sat down to write a letter to Santa this year, but realized she didn’t need anything for Christmas.

Instead, she offered to make St. Nick a present. Read her adorable letter below!

When Nadia’s mom, Diana, saw what she had written in her letter to Santa, she knew she had to share it online.

She sent it to the Facebook page Love What Matters, and it got a ton of attention. Within just four days, the post had over 43,000 reactions and almost 5,000 shares.

Our favorite holiday is Christmas, and I’ve always tried to instill the true spirit of Christmas into each of my daughters. Christmas is about love, happiness and, overall, family.
