(Insert Story Starter)
As Maria placed the last ornament on the Christmas tree, she noticed a small, perfectly wrapped gift sitting on the windowsill. It wasn’t there before, and no one in her family knew where it came from. The tag simply read, “To the one who believes…” |
………. as Maria looked at the tag confused but curious, she opened the present without awareness or caution as if she had no care. When Maria finished unwrapping the cover off the present, she found a normal looking box that had plain writing on it which said “ For the one who believes”. Maria found this peculiar, for she did not know what the writing meant. She continued and went back to opening the box but she found out it was locked by seeing there was a keyhole. She began trying to force open the box until she heard a noise from the fireplace. Maria went to investigate where that noise was from until she saw from the top through the hole in the chimney a big man with red and white all over him.
Seeing that he was going to jump down from the chimney, Maria quickly backed up far enough from the fireplace so that she would be safe. When the man came down, a huge puff of smoke fanned out everywhere in the living room from the burnt charcoal. Looking around to see what came down from the chimney, she saw a tall, big figure in front of her. She was struggling to see who it was until the smoke cleared. Recognizing that look it was Santa! “ Merry Christmas Maria! “ shouted Santa. Remembering the present, Maria asked Santa why was that box here. “ Oh, it was for you! “ answered Santa. “ Why did the tag and writing say to the believer then? “. “ Oh! It’s because when you were ten years old people wouldn’t believe I existed but you still had belief in me “ Santa replied.
“How come you came then?” she questioned curiously. Then Santa handed her a rusty looking key, she grabbed the key then put it in the keyhole and when it unlocked she opened the box to find a book with empty pages. “ What’s this? “ she objected. “ Wait for it “ said Santa. Then lots of photos of her & her family came out, she let out a tiny tear because her family members passed and they meant a lot to her. She hugged Santa and thanked him. Then Santa went on his way back to the North Pole and on his way back Maria was waving back to Santa.
