“My Christmas Wish”
was created especially for
Tenma Mori
at the age of 7
Merry Christmas from
Mommy
2012 |
”Oh what a busy, busy time
of year. Christmas is
coming, and I have so many
things to do,” said Tenma to
Eito, Shohei and Satoru, 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, Tenma Eito,
Shohei and Satoru 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
Tenma. “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 Tenma, “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 Nana. |
|
|
Tenma thought of another
wish. “I wish Santa could
bring Rudolph to Mitaka-shi.
It would make the whole
town happy.” |
“I just thought of a bigger
wish,” said Tenma. 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
Nana. “I can’t write it down,
it is so BIG. I wish all the
children in Mitaka-shi, could
take turns flying around with
Santa Claus. I can just see
the BIG smiles” |
Tenma and Eito, Shohei and
Satoru 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. Tenma,
Eito, Shohei and Satoru
hoped their names were on
the list. |
“Welcome to our home
Tenma. 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 model airplane,”
said Tenma, ”I would like to
have that as a gift for myself.” |
Tenma saw an elf pick up
a colorful book telling about
the real meaning of
Christmas. He thought it
seemed like a good idea
to add the book to his 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 Tenma |
As Tenma and Eito, Shohei
and Satoru watched Santa
load his sleigh, they realized
that it was time to say
good-bye. “Before we go,”
said Tenma, “we have just
one last wish…. |
|
|
“Peace on Earth and Good Will
to all the Children of the World.”
