We are all excited. There will be a new little reindeer soon! When a reindeer is born we are all happy. It is part of the Circle of Life.
But, my good friend Venice asked something. She asked if the little reindeer could be called Greta. Greta was Venice’s Mom. Greta died last Christmas. It was very sad.
Venice made me think about something we do at the North Pole.
We have a lot of Christmas trees at the North Pole. The elves keep the trees looking nice. But, the elves never put a star on top of a Christmas tree. The stars are special.
Mrs. Claus has something special too. It is a book. When a baby is born, she writes the baby’s name in her book. That way, we always think of them.
But, when someone dies, we do something special. We did it for Venice’s mother, Greta. We did it for Kiara’s baby brother, Will. Likewise, we did it for Ashley’s Dad. And we did it for Julia’s grampa, George, too.
When someone dies we have a special service for them at the North Pole. Everyone puts on nice clothes. We all meet in the Great Hall of the Elves. The elves that watched them thru out their life will stand up. Then the elves will tell us some stories about them. There are stories that are happy. Some stories are sad. Some are funny. It reminds us and makes us think of them.
The Circle of Life Forest
Then, Mrs. Claus gets her special book. She gently takes their name out of her book. She puts their name on a star.
Next, everyone stands up. I gently take the star from Mrs. Claus. I carry the star past everyone. Everyone follows me outside. I carry the star to a special Christmas tree. It is just for that person. Then I gently put the star on top of the Christmas tree. Then the star lights up. It shines brightly for all to see. That way we always think of them.
Rudolph and the reindeer also do something when a special pet dies. That way we always think of them too.
The price for having known someone who died is sadness when they leave us. But it is a small price for all the happiness they gave us, even if it was for just a little while.
When someone dies, it is ok if it makes you sad. But, it is good to talk about being sad. It helps you feel better. If something makes you sad you should talk to your family about it. Or, you can call some great people to talk to.

P.S. If there is someone you are missing this Christmas, you can leave a message to tell everyone about them. Or, scroll down to see what others have written.
A right jolly old elf, in spite of myself. I love Christmas, children, the North Pole, Mrs. Claus, elves, reindeer, snowmen & the list goes on!

To santa and all the Reindeer,
i think that it is sad that Greta died but i supose everyone has to die someday,
how did Greta die, anyway i think it is a great idea that you are nameing the baby reindeer after it’s mother. hope you look after the baby reindeer and take care of it contact me when it is born
from Kate

Reply From Santa:
Abbey, we were so sad to hear about your Nana. We put her star on a Christmas tree for all to see.
But do not worry. Our reindeer are ok. No one is sick and no one has died here!
Santa
i am missing my mom who died 4 months ago
It is so exciting to hear about the new reindeer.
I’m so happy for you!
We miss our Grandma Claire. She died two years ago and Grandpa is really lonely without her. She was only 73. She was the sweetest woman that ever lived. She spoiled us with candy whenever we went to her house. She spent time with us and liked to do the things that we like to do like reading books, playing games and playing with toys. We know she is in heaven, so we are happy for her, but we still miss her.
I miss my cat Bootsie very much!!! I will really miss my cat this Christmas.
dear santa i lost my dog squeaky about 2 weeks a go it would mean a whole lot me if u named the reindeer after my dog and do the service after him i really truely miss him a whole lot
Hi santa i luv u u bring me loverly presants and u get treats like milk i bet that is ur fav drink hope you get it this year as well luv u
I think you should name the reindeer Juaquine, if its a boy, or Shameena if its a girl.
Santa, thank-you for placing a star on a tree for my Grandpa George. We had the funeral for him today, and I am sure he is in heaven singing Christmas carols while admiring his star. I love you Santa!

Reply from Santa:
Julia, you are very welcome. Your Grandpa was a wonderful man.
All the best,
Santa
Did you do the same when my Grandpa John and Grandma Grace died? I was 4 when Grandpa died and 5 when Grandma. I miss them alot. One time I asked for them back. And every Christmas we go to grandpa’s grave and talk to him and wish him a merry christmas. I tell him how good i do in school then he gives me a piggy back ride and then i start to cry. Santa…I miss them alot.:'{

Reply from Santa:
Julianne, we were all very sorry about your Grandpa John and Grandma Grace.
YES! Of course, we have stars here with their names on them. I can see them from my window right now. It makes us happy when we remember how much fun you had with them. After all, as long as you remember them, then they will never be completely gone.
All the best,
Santa
I miss my grandma and my grandpa on my mommys side i love you both

My dog twosocks died and my moms friend Nana died
i lost my doggy in october… i was sad for a really long time and still am… i will always miss her… and a couple years ago i had a cat named earvin and all of a sudden he started to get sick. he wouldnt eat and he wouldnt drink water. so we had to put him down.. i still think about him to this day. then a couple months after that we got another kitten and named her lucy. but one day i went to look for her and we discovered that she had run away. but now i have a brand new little baby cousin. my aunt adopted her. she was born on august 1st 2008! she lives in virginia and i live in california but im going to go see her at least 3 times a year!!! i love her soooooo much!!!
