Do you remember being five years old?

Were you afraid your shoelace would come untied when you jumped off the swing in the playground and you still needed mom or teacher to tie it for you?

🎶Over, under around and through🎵

Is that how you were taught to retie them, a macrame knot, or was it a Pall Mall commercial?

Am I revealing my age? Oh well.

Write a letter to Santa Claus as your five-year-old self, BUT you turn(ed) five in 2030.

One submission per writer.

$10 and a May More Teaser Tale for the winner.

Deadline is December 31, midnight, PST.

Leave a link in the responses or tag me.

This month’s judge is Medium’s own Santa Claus.

His pick from last Christmas was a letter to Mrs. Claus from THE CREATIVITY DOCTOR.
