Almost Christmas Carol
Once upon a time, there was a young teenager named Emily. It was Christmas Eve, and she was busy decorating her Christmas tree with shiny tinsel. Her friends were at the door, laughing and singing Christmas songs. However, Emily wasn't happy. She was upset because she didn’t get the new phone she wanted.
That night, while she was trying to sleep, a strange thing happened. A friendly ghost appeared in her room. Emily was scared at first, but the ghost smiled and said, "I am here to show you the miracle of Christmas."
Suddenly, they were standing outside her house. It was cold, but the street was filled with lights and people were smiling. The ghost took Emily to see different families celebrating. She saw a family singing carols together, wrapped in warm blankets. Even though they didn't have much, they were happy. Emily saw their joy and began to feel the holiday spirit.
Next, the ghost took her to a community centre. There were people giving out food to those who needed it. Emily watched as they helped others. She saw a small child receiving a warm coat. The child smiled, and Emily felt this was a true miracle of kindness.
Finally, the ghost showed Emily her own family. They were sitting together, laughing and enjoying a simple meal. Emily saw her mum's smile and realised she had everything she needed.
The next morning, Emily woke up, full of joy. She ran to her family, hugged them, and said, "Thank you for the best Christmas gift – your love." From that day, she understood that Christmas was about sharing love and happiness. That was the real miracle of Christmas.
Christmas Treasure
On a cold Christmas Eve, Lucy sat by the window, watching the snowflakes fall softly to the ground. Her family had recently moved to an old house in a quiet village. As she looked outside, she wondered what stories this house held within its walls.
Earlier that day, Lucy and her younger brother, Tom, decided to explore the attic. It was full of dusty boxes and forgotten treasures. They found a box of vintage toys, which belonged to someone who used to live there long ago. Dolls with cute dresses and trains with missing wheels caught their attention and filled them with excitement.
While digging through the box, Tom found a small envelope hidden under some old books. Curious, they carefully opened it and saw a letter inside. The letter was addressed to "My Dearest Lucy," which made Lucy's heart beating. Could it possibly be for her, even from the past? The address on the envelope was of their home. The letter spoke of a little girl and her lovely memories spent in that very house.
Feeling adventurous, Lucy and Tom decided to find out more. They asked their neighbours and learned about an older woman named Grandma Lucy who lived in the village. They couldn’t believe that she might be the very Lucy from the letter.
The next day, they visited Grandma Lucy with the letter. She was more than happy when she saw it. Tears welled up in her eyes, but they were happy tears. She told them stories about her childhood, playing with the same vintage toys and decorating with shiny tinsel.
Grandma Lucy explained how she had lost the letter many years ago and thought it would never be found again. Now, holding it between her hands, she felt like a piece of her past had returned. The memories flooded back, and she couldn’t help but smile, sharing them with Lucy and Tom, making their Christmas truly magical.
