Those who believe
know
there is a very special
Christmas Fairy.

Once upon a time,
on Christmas Eve,
this fairy grants
her Christmas wish.

She made a magical visit
to two small children,
who asked for a most
extraordinary wish.
They asked of her,
could they please
meet Santa when he comes
to their house,
this magical night of
nights?
The fairy knew
she had to pull
a fast one,
to grant this wish!

When all was still,
this snowy Eve,
Santa slipped
quietly down the
proverbial chimney.
He quickly went about
unpacking his bag,
setting aside his
hat and pipe.
Presents he piled
under the tree,
and filled every
stocking to overflowing.
As he was ready to take
his leave, he reached for
his pipe and hat,
but they were nowhere
to be found!

For as he had set them aside,
the Christmas Fairy,
in her winsome trickery,
had sprinkled fairy dust
on hat and pipe...
Poof...gone!

Santa was beside himself,
for he could not fly
this frigid night,
bald as he was,
without his hat,
or his pipe to
blow smoke rings
that encicle his head
like a wreath!

So he told his elves,
who waited in the sled,
to please finish
delivering all the toys
to boys and girls
everywhere that they
not be dissapointed
on Christmas morn.
Santa then went back
and fell asleep
in a chair,
having nothing else to do.

Christmas morning dawned,
in snowy crystal wonder,
as two little ones
bounced into the room,
with whoops of joy
only to discover Santa,
snoring loudly in the chair.
They stood in frozen
astonishment
at this most unbelievable
sight!

The Christmas Fairy
was delighted
that the dear children
had their wish fulfilled.
At the fluttering of her
wings,
Santa awoke.
The moment he spied
her magical self,
he knew...
"well miss Christmas Fairy
you've done your best magic
of all this year",
and with this said,
he laughed long and loud,
to the amazement of the
children,
who laughed a merry
Christmas laugh with Santa.

So the Fairy restored
Santas hat and pipe,
and before he took
his leave to the
North Pole,
turned with a chuckle
and a grin,
kissed both children,
with a tickle of his beard,
and bade them a happy
Christmas.

To the Christmas Fairy,
he gave a wink and a nod,
and a chuckle too
saying..
"Aw, my Christmas Fairy,
you've made these little ones
so happy,
that I crown you thus...
The Queen of Christmas Magic
forever more" !!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Oh Ellie,

Your tale of Children, Santa, and the magical Christmas fairy and her whim for trickery is simply nostalgic. A Christmas tale worthy to be a Christmas tradition in every home. -Bob
