"My Christmas Wish"was created especially forNorika Yamamotoat the age of 7Merry Christmas fromMommy and DaddyDecember 24, 2006
"Oh what a busy, busy time of year. Christmas is coming, and I have so many things to do," said Norika to Ayachan and Yurichan, 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."
"I have a great idea," said Norika. "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."
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 Norika.
"I just thought of a bigger wish," said Norika. "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."
Norika and Ayachan and Yurichan 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!
"Welcome to our home Norika. 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.
Norika 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.
As Norika and Ayachan and Yurichan watched Santa load his sleigh, they realized that it was time to say good-bye. "Before we go," said Norika, "we have just one last wish....
