Santa's Poem about Love
Santa, what are the names of your reindeer?
Ho, ho, ho. You can memorize them. I've memorized them too in case I have a senior moment!
Here they are -
Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen.
And of course, Rudolph!
Thanks, Santa!
Santa?
Yes?
Can you make me a poem about a reindeer?
Okay, here goes
Cupid the Reindeer and Santa's Conversation
What's the matter, Cupid?
You look so sad.
Santa, it's because I am so stupid
and I'm also bad.
And I'm ugly too.
That is what someone said.
What you need is love.
I love you, Cupid, so now you can feel glad.
But what if you are not around?
Like when you are out giving gifts all over town,
Who will love me?
Why the answer is easy and you can start right now.
Just love yourself.
But I don't know how
Be patient with yourself
Just as I am with the elf.
Remember how Elmo knocked all the ornaments on the floor?
Yes.
And how he always slammed the door?
Yes.
Remember how I didn't get mad
And never told him he was bad?
Yes.
I just kept working with him.
I was patient, and watched, and stroked my chin.
Now Elmo has been promoted,
And most improved elf he was voted!
Don't try to be perfect every day
Just do what you can, and you'll find your way.
When Santa was a kid, other kids teased me and bullied me too
Soon I hated to go to school.
But the older I got, the bigger and stronger and smarter I became.
Now I'm happy and have the world's most famous name.
But why do you love me, Santa?
Here is the answer
Because God loves you
And I do too.
But I don't feel that He loves me too.
That's okay, one day perhaps you will.
For now, just know that I love you.
Look, Cupid, there's a robin on my window sill!

I will be happy if Santa helps improve your relationship with your child.
Incidentally, just as parenting is a year round job, so is learning and developing your parenting skills! Don't wait until the holidays.
"Dr. Roland Trujillo PhD and Senior Pastor has written the book (now at Amazon.com) on alternatives to spanking. It is called Santa's Take on Parenting: Secrets from the North Pole. It will actually mentor you in learning how to apply patience and wisdom in working with your kids. It is also one of the sweetest books ever written and is right up there with Miracle on 34th Street as an all time reminder of what love is all about. "
"Little kids don't need discipline, they need direction and redirection. They need watching with love, kindness, and patience. Older kids need the loving presence of an involved aware parent. They need mentoring, coaching, and a parent who sets a good example. I'm going to tell you the truth. Time outs or spanking are poor substitutes for patience and wisdom.
.
I know that if I can convince you that patience works, both you and your child will be much happier.
What others are saying about Santa's Take
"Every parent should read this book."

"Your book is great and should go over well."

“Santa's Take on Parenting" is a real find. I was looking for a book that makes the case for positive and creative parenting without spanking or excessive reliance on punishment.
I plan to provide a copy to my moms and dads who are just getting started or soon to be parents. I also wish to make it "required reading" for parents who need some coaching in positive parenting. Santa's Take will make learning about parenting fun and easier for lots of busy parents.— Mary, parent educator, Emeryville, CA.
.
“Whimsical" After I read Santa's Take on Parenting, I gave a copy to my adoptive and foster parent agency to have in their lending library. — Alicia, mother of three, Northern California
Your kids will listen when you say "Santa says."
..Ideal for parents, grandparents, foster parents and anyone who loves kids..
