It might be odd for two adult siblings to watch a movie about Santa Claus being real, but watching Miracle on 34th Street after Thanksgiving dinner had always been our traditional way to kick off the Christmas season, after we'd cleaned up after dinner. Since the movie kicked off on Thanksgiving it felt appropriate.

We continue this tradition after our parents died in a car crash and you came home to visit me from college at Thanksgiving. The movie has a way of making people feel like a child again and renews your belief in the magic of Christmas and Santa Claus.

Maybe that was why that night after we'd gone to bed you'd written a letter to Santa. One in which you begged to start over. (Either as a new gender or just be a kid again.)You'd been hiding this desire and need for years. You'd told our parents only for them to get hit by drunk driver the next day.

You blamed yourself for some reason and vowed never to tell another living soul about your desires, which might have been why writing this letter felt cathartic.

It was the day after the long weekend, you'd gone back to school and I was cleaning up and changing your sheets. As I pull the sheets off the bed, a scrap of paper falls to the floor.

*Dear Santa,

I hope you're doing awesome in the snowy North Pole!

This Christmas, I have a really, really big wish, and it's kinda hard to say. I've been feeling like I should be a girl, like deep down inside, you know? It's super tough, and I don't know what to do.

If you have any magical way to help, I'd be so, so grateful. I just want to be true to who I am and feel happy. Thanks a bunch, Santa.

Wishing you lots of magic, Merry Christmas! *

(This letter is obviously a sample feel free to write your own in a DM or chat message. I'm flexible on the character, just prefer that they're a girl, could just be struggling with live and ask to start over or we can go with the transgender idea.)

This is about both our characters figuring it all out my character being a real mother to you and you becoming who you want to be.
