Merry Christmas from
Mommy and Daddy
December 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.... 

"Peace on Earth and Good Will
to all the Children of the World."
