Merry Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa
December 24, 2002
"Oh what a busy, busy time
of year. Christmas is
coming, and I have so many
things to do,'' said Hanae
to Aska, Haruna and Kyoko,
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, Hanae, Aska,
Haruna and Kyoko,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 Hanae. "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 Hanae,
"I
wish I could be there to
share some with the elves."
