"My Christmas Wish"
was created especially for

at the age of 7
Merry Christmas from
Mommy and Daddy
December 24,2004 |

"Oh what a busy, busy time
of year. Christmas is
coming, and I have so many
things to do,"said Jessica
to Larry,Billy and Joe,
who had come to play. "I
have gifts to make and
cookies to bake, but that's
not all. We'll get a tall
tree, hang stockings three,
four, or maybe more."
|
|
 |
 |
Later, Jessica,
Larry,Billy and Joe were
talking about Santa Claus.
They could picture Santa's
jolly, round face with his
big smile that was nearly
hidden by his long, white,
bushy beard.
|
|
"I have a great idea,"
said Jessica. "Let's get
our crayons and pencils and
each make a list and call
it "My Christmas Wish."
This list will be special.
We'll pretend we can go to
the North Pole and see how
Santa and Mrs. Claus get
ready for Christmas."
|
|
 |
 |
All of the elves work so
hard in Santa's toy shop,
that Mrs.Claus bakes them
lots of cookies for snacks.
Some have red icing, some
chocolate, and some green.
"Ummm, I really like
cookies," said Jessica, "I
wish I could be there to
share some with the elves."
|
|
Running here, running
there…Santa's elves are
very busy.
"I wish I could be
there to help feed the
reindeer and polish all the
brass bells," said Larry. |
|
|
|
Jessica thought of
another wish, "I wish
Santa could bring Rudolph
to Atlanta. It would make
the whole town happy." |
|
"I just thought of a
bigger wish," said Jessica.
"I wish Santa Claus would
come with ALL his reindeer
and take me for a ride.
Up, up, and away we would
fly. I would wear a green
suit to match the color of
Santa's green sleigh. As I
fly by, I might even shake
a bell or two myself."
|
|
 |
 |
"Well, I have a
bigger, bigger, BIGGER
wish," cried Larry,Billy
and Joe. "I can't write it
down, it is so BIG. I wish
all the children in
Atlanta, could take turns
flying around with Santa
Claus. I can just see the
BIG smiles."
|
|
Jessica ,Larry,
Billy and Joe were enjoying
this pretend game very
much. They started wishing
they could go to see where
Santa and Mrs. Claus lived.
They had been told that the
walk way to the front door
was lined with candy canes!
|
|
 |
 |
All of a sudden, they
found themselves sitting at
Santa's table. Santa was
reading through his very
long list of names of
children who had been very
good. Jessica,Larry,
Billy and Joe hoped their
names were on the list.
|
|
"Welcome to our home
Jessica. Would you and
your friend like some
cookies," asked Mrs.Claus.
"Santa and I will sing you
some Christmas songs. How
about Silent Night, or
Jingle Bells? Yes, Jingle
Bells," and they began to
sing.
|
|
 |
 |
The music could be
heard in the workshop where
the elves were working very
hard. One elf was painting
some finishing touches on
the roof of a doll house.
"I wonder if one of the
elves made that little
doll," said Jessica, "I
would like to have that as
a gift for myself."
|
|
Jessica saw an elf
pick up a colorful book
telling about the real
meaning of Christmas. She
thought it seemed like a
good idea to add the book
to her Wish list.
|
|
 |
|
"This has been a very
exciting adventure to visit
Santa and Mrs.Claus and to
see how hard all the elves
work to get ready for
Christmas," said Jessica. |
|
As Jessica,Larry,
Billy and Joe watched Santa
load his sleigh, they
realized that it was time
to say good-bye. "Before
we go," said Jessica, "we
have just one last wish.... |
|
|
|
"Peace on Earth and Good Will
to all the Children of the World."
