At the center of the mall was the perfect Santa with a gentle manner and a real white beard. My six - year - old granddaughter, Leah, jumped from foot to foot as we waited in line for her turn to sit on his lap.
“I don’t know what to say,” Leah said, raising her neck around the kids in front of her.
“Sure you do,” her mother, Leanne, said.
“It’s Santa. He’s already your friend. You’ll do just fine.”
“He’ll ask you what you want for Christmas,” I said. “And you just tell him.”
We’d gone over and over the toys she’d asked for. Her mother didn’t want surprises! Leah repeated the list. But a minute later, she inserted new toys she’d just spotted at the mall.
“I’ve got an idea,” said Leanne, digging into her purse as the line inched (缓慢移动) forward. “Let’s write down your requests so you won’t forget them.” I couldn’t help but laugh. Going to see Santa was such an important appointment for a six - year - old girl. No child should have any worries bigger than that. But the night before, on the news, I’d seen a village in the Middle East that had come under fire (遭枪击). Many of the wounded were children just like our Leah. Looking around the mall full of magical decorations and happy shoppers, I felt safe, as safe as anyone could be. Everyone in the world should have that kind of security, especially at Christmas.
“Okay,” Leanne said. “Now you’ve got everything you want written down here. If you get nervous you can just give the note to Santa.”
Leah nodded and took the list. She read it out loud.
“Why don’t you add one more request, Leah,” I heard myself say. “Ask for peace on earth.” My daughter looked a little surprised by my suggestion.
“What’s peace on earth, Grandma?” Leah asked.
“Peace on earth means all the people in the world would get along. That’s the true meaning of Christmas,” I said.
Leah nodded seriously. “Yes,” she agreed.

It was all worth it as I watched Leah rushing joyfully into her presents on Christmas morning. "It's just what I wanted!" she screamed. It was the perfect Christmas as far as I could see. And then I noticed Leah, looking somewhat unhappy. "What's wrong, honey?" I asked. Leanne came over, "Didn't Santa bring you everything you wanted?" Leah sighed. "Almost," she said. "But where's the peace on earth?"
