A special self-certification to allow Santa Claus to reach the homes of all the children of the world. In this very complex period for everyone, the special request of a 5-year-old child to Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte makes us smile.
And Santa Claus will arrive the same despite Covid. It will be a different but certainly special Christmas, like every year, for all children. On social media, Conte shared the letter from little Tommaso di Cesano Maderno. A child who asked him for a self-certification for Santa Claus. A special request given the difficult moment. And Conte wanted to share this letter and his response. May it be of hope and commitment for all.
Santa Claus expected by all the children of the world
There have been many children who in their simplicity will have asked themselves this question. This will be the first Christmas that the modern era is experiencing in a pandemic. And many children who believe in the big man with the red suit and the white beard will be able to reach their homes on Christmas Eve.
All the children who still believe in this dream, they will have written to Santa Claus to receive many gifts. Like little Tommaso who first addressed President Conte. "I wanted to ask you if you can do a special self-certification - writes Thomas - to enable him to deliver gifts to all the children of the world. I know that Santa is old and it is dangerous to go into houses, but he is good and will definitely wear a mask to protect himself".
Conte's letter to Santa Claus
And so the premier wanted to share this special letter. "A few days ago - wrote the premier posting the letter of the little one - I received this letter from Thomas, a bimbo of 5 years of Cesano Maderno. Which made me a very special request. Here is my response: Dear Thomas, I have read your message and I want to reassure you. Santa has assured me that he already has an international self-certification: he can travel everywhere and distribute gifts to all the children of the world. Without any limitation".
"He then confirmed to me - added Conte - who always uses the mask and keeps the right distance to protect himself and all the people he meets. The idea of having him find under the tree, in addition to hot milk and biscuits, also sanitizing liquid seems excellent to me. A good scrubbing will allow him to disinfect his hands very well and to leave in complete safety. I am happy to know that you and your classmates are scrupulously respecting all the rules, in order to protect mum and dad, grandparents, and loved ones too.
A message for all of Italy
For this reason I announce that it will not be necessary to specify in the letter to Santa Christmas that you were good: I told him. I told him that this year in Italy has been a very difficult year and you and all the children have been adorable. I also heard that you want to ask Santa to get rid of the coronavirus. Don't waste the opportunity to ask for an extra gift. We adults will be able to chase away the coronavirus, all together. So you and your teammates can soon return to play free and happy and hug you all. Carefree as always".
A message of hope that is a good omen for a very special Christmas despite Covid
