It is undeniable that children love and await the arrival of a kind and wise Santa Claus on a reindeer sleigh, and parents need a little help to teach their little ones that kindness is rewarded with a reward, and mischief with a reprimand or even a wake-up call.
The thrill of childhood is the anticipation of Santa Claus, and the tiny uncertainty of whether he will come, and the doubt and doubt that he is real. Surely many of us once stood behind the curtains, staring out into the winter night and hoping to catch a glimpse of Santa Claus with his snow-white beard, gliding on his reindeer sleigh.
It is also undeniable that as adults, many of us wait for Santa Claus, not for the goodies he brings, but for the sparkle he brings to our children's eyes, the excited joy, the confident or doubtful question that rings from the child's mouth, „I was good, wasn't I, Santa will bring me a present too?”
We can be sure that the bearded one will visit kindergartens and schools every year. So the experience is there for our children, but we just can't be there to share it with them. Our workplace is quite different. We take our children there, we give them the experience as a gift, and we are more satisfied if our employers take the time, money and energy for it.
Matusz-Vad has a long tradition of celebrating Santa Claus. This pleasant, civil afternoon, when we wait together for the kindly big beast, when we see our children shyly or even rashly going up to him, when we can eat goodies and, for once, not talk about work with colleagues. And although last year the COVID pandemic swept this fun away, this year we're looking forward to welcoming back our employees with children, and of course Santa Claus.
And to get in the mood, the children's drawings and baby photos are already being prepared, all we need now is the public and the chance to vote. But we're opening that door now too. And all those who want to contribute to children's smiles are invited to vote, at Facebook page drawings and photos!
Let's be part of the fairytale world ourselves, just like Santa Claus. He is kind and wise, who knows the mischief of children, rewards the good and brings cheer to the wicked.
After all, perhaps the greatest experience of childhood is a fairy-tale world full of heroes who defeat evil dragons and witches, where it pays to be brave, kind-hearted, selfless and honest. Where the bad guys get their just deserts and the heroes win the hand of the princess or the love of the prince, and of course toys and sweets from Santa Claus. #
