Short Christmas Story: Santa’s Christmas – By Shreya Sharma
This is an interesting Christmas story to share with your kids. Do enjoy the story.
It
was a lovely day in December, with bright blue sky and snow-covered tops. The
whole town bubbled with excitement for Christmas but that wasn’t the case in
Santa’s house. The atmosphere was quiet and cool, there was hardly any movement
to show the usual Christmas hustling and bustling in preparing Christmas
presents in Santa’s house. Santa has fallen sick and he wondered as he laid on
his bed how the children would react if they don’t receive their presents this
Christmas.
While
he was still lost in his thoughts, he heard a loud noise outside. He peered
through his window to see what was happening, he saw as usual his four
reindeers standing patiently but they all looked out of breath. He quickly
stood up to get a better view, to his amazement there was a long train of sleds
carrying little children dressed in all sorts of Christmas dresses behind the
reindeers.
Gradually,
the little children made their way to Santa’s house. Santa was very pleased to
see them all as he beckoned on them to come in. A little girl went in first and
hugged Santa passionately. “I heard that you were sick Santa, I brought my
teddy bear for you to keep you company,” she said. “Oh that’s very sweet little
Emma,” said Santa. Santa knew all the names of the kids in the country.
Little
boy Paul was next, he carried with him a red package. After giving Santa a hug
he said, “Papa Santa, we knew you were sick, so my family knitted this quilt
for you to keep you warm in the winter days.” “That’s a lovely thought, Paul,”
said Santa patting his head.
Other
kids made their way into the room, each bearing a special gift for Santa to
wish him a quick recovery. “Christmas has been delivered at my doorstep,” said
Santa in excitement. There were a lot of
gifts, cookies, pies, socks, jigsaw, books, puzzles, and even a small Christmas
tree. “Gather round children and let’s share these wonderful gifts,” said
Santa.
“Which
gift do you like most, Santa?” Emma asked. “I like all of them,” replied Santa.
But what I like most is the love and kindness that each one of you has shown me
today. “That is the best of them all and it is the true definition of
Christmas,” said Santa smiling as he gazed fondly at their little eager faces.
Christmas
presents are always beautiful to gift someone with, but the greater love is in
the attitude and affection shown when doing it. Hope you enjoyed this lovely
