There was a lad named John.  He lived in Winnipeg, Canada, with his parents. Being the only child of his parents, most of John’s wishes were fulfilled by them. He was the apple of the eyes of his parents.

A strange incident happened on Xmas day when John met with none other than Santa Claus. It was Christmas Eve and John was decorating the x-mas tree at his home with gifts, balls, stars and toffees. John was only a 5-year-old, but he really loved this festival. However, his long-cherished dream of meeting Santa Claus was not getting fulfilled.

This year too, John decorated his Christmas tree with the hope that Santa Claus would visit his home for sure. John went to his friend’s house in the evening to enjoy Christmas Eve. He returned home in the night only to find himself tired. He skipped the dinner and gobbled up half of the pancake that his mother baked.

John went to bed, but thoughts of Santa Claus and Jesus Christ kept moving inside his little head. Soon, he fell asleep. The clock strikes exactly 12”0 clock. Everyone in the house was sleeping. There was pin-drop silence in the house.

Suddenly, John woke up hearing the sound of Christmas Jingles. Just when he was about to realize from where the sound coming from – the calling bell rang. John straightaway went to the door and opened it.

What he saw in the front of his eyes was unbelievable. There was an old man in a red wardrobe standing with a long-beard and a big-bag reciting Christmas Carols. John was standing shocked and spellbound. Suddenly the old man said;

I’m Santa Claus,

Who is devoted to the cross!

Yes, I’m the children’s Santa,

Who appears on the day of fiesta!

It was a dream came true moment for little John. He instantly realised that Xmas day has already come and the old man was none other than Santa Claus. Excited John couldn’t stop his excitement and exclaimed;

I’m Lucky to see your face,

This is indeed a strange case,

John is my name,

And to see you every Christmas – is my aim.

Santa Claus again used his rhythmic sense saying,

Take these balls and toys,

This bag is full of toffees and toys,

Accept my gift with full of joys.

Santa Claus and John loved each other’s company and the duo spent around half an hour together. Meanwhile, Santa explained to John about the tradition of Christmas celebrations across the globe.

Alas, time passed so soon! Santa had to leave then as he would also meet several other kids too like John. These kids were also waiting for Santa’s arrival at their doorsteps. John started crying, & Santa became emotional too and said,

“My dear John, don’t cry,

I will again come to you next year,

When you will become little big to open the door,

Without any fear!

But John couldn’t prevent himself, and tears started rolling down his cheeks.  Emotional Santa exclaimed;

“Don’t cry John, don’t cry,

Bye-Bye my little John Bye-bye”

Saying this Santa Claus and his reindeer mingled in the vast blue sky! Seeing it John was totally stunned!

The next morning, John’s parents were stunned looking at so many gifts and toys near John’s bed. Immediately they asked John how he got those things. Then john explained everything to them but they belittled the same thinking that John’s friends might have presented him those gifts. They started laughing aloud instead.

All of sudden, John’s dad noticed a glowing leaf on the top of their x-mas tree. John’s parents ran near to it and found a note saying, I’m here for the last several million years and I will be here as always, but I’ll be invisible to those who don’t believe me or stop believing me after attaining adulthood – Santa Claus !
