1. Santa Claus

Whether you want to trace the legend of the Santa Claus to Saint Nicholas, Sinterklaas, or Odin, or all three, they all bear only a passing resemblance to the heavily commercialized version we know now. But still, what’s not to love? He knows what gift we want to receive more than anything, and on Christmas Day, he leaves it for us. He’s jolly, not concerned about calories, and has impeccable taste in red velvet clothing. Oh, how I wish he were real!

  • Oh, who wouldn't? I mean, these creatures bring a sense of magic and wonder into our lives. They're like little pieces of wishes and dreams that spark our imagination—something we all need now and then!

  • Absolutely! Besides leaving money under pillows and making children smile, these characters teach kids about generosity and creativity. It's like a fun tradition that passes down a sense of wonder and belief in the impossible.

  • That's a tough one! But if I had to choose, it'd probably be unicorns. They're just so enchanting with their majestic appearance and magical aura. Plus, who doesn't love a horse with a sparkly horn?

  • Santa is the ultimate symbol of joy and giving! He brings excitement every year and reminds us of the importance of kindness and happiness. It's all about the spirit of giving without expecting anything in return.

  • I think so! Sure, maybe we don't 'believe' in them the same way kids do, but allowing ourselves to enjoy their stories keeps our minds open to new possibilities. It's a beautiful way to hold on to a bit of childhood magic in our busy lives.

2. The Easter Bunny

As a woman who adores chocolate more than any other food on earth, I am especially fond of the Easter Bunny, who brings me a big basket heaped with Lindt and Ghirardelli every spring. Oh, and the Cadbury’s Cream Eggs. And Jelly Belly Jelly Beans. And sometimes, Tiffany jewelry. I love the Easter Bunny, who happens to be, at this time, my boyfriend. I can’t wait to see the “Hop” movie, too!

3. The Tooth Fairy

Feared and loved in equal measure by children across the United States, the Tooth Fairy is one of my heroes as a parent. I can’t think of any other way we parents can convince our children to let us pull their loose teeth, or to help them think of it as a positive thing, not a negative. I like to imagine her like the Fairy from Pinocchio, sweet and kind, with a bandolier of teeth across her chest.

4. Prince Charming

Someday my Prince will come, right? Right? Well, maybe. But it’s nice to day-dream about Prince Charming, handsome, well-read, kind to animals, the elderly, and small children. He doesn’t have to be tall, dark, and handsome… my demands have become more reasonable as I’ve aged.

Sunshine and blue skies bring positivity and joy and it's important for every woman to take full advantage of it. Even when stuck indoors, it's still possible to enjoy some good vibes. Check out these unique tips on how to make the most of the weather right at your home. Let's celebrate every beautiful day, no matter where we are.

5. Fairy Godmother

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a Fairy Godmother? She could help you on bad hair days, provide much-needed wardrobe advice in an instant, and even provide unique eco-friendly (though temporary) transportation … she might also help connect you with Prince Charming (see item 4, above).

6. Unicorns

What little girl hasn’t wished that unicorns were real? I’d want one. A pink one with a purple mane and sparkling eyes and… *ahem* sorry, I’ve gotten carried away. But seriously, any woman who was once a little girl, playing with My Little Ponies, wants unicorns to be real.

7. Lady Luck

If Lady Luck were real, I just know she and I would be besties, and she’d smile on me. I’d take her to Vegas, Atlantic City, and just about anywhere else an unlucky, clumsy girl like me could stand to have some fun. I’m not saying I’d use her for money or anything - but how cool would it be to be the girl with Lady Luck on her side?

See what I mean? Wouldn’t it be fantastic if these make-believe creatures were real? Which of these pretend people would you want to meet, and why? Please share!
