Cupid Santa's Christmas Gift
By: Lilly
Chapter 1
"Sugar-plum, this world does not have Christmas spirit," sadly confirmed a
legendary
figure. "Greed...that is all there is."
"Cookie, there must be someone who is not corrupted with this greed virus,"
the beautiful old woman said consolingly to her husband.
Usually this legendary man would be all laughs, glowing from head to toe,
but lately his
spirit lacked the enjoyment that life use to give. "I don't know what to do,
Sugar-plum."
Putting his hand over his face, tears slipped down from his dark blue eyes.
"Christmas is becoming a 'humbug' to the people. All I hear is gimme, gimme,
GIMME, but never
give, give, GIVE!!!!!"
Tears also slipped down from the old woman's lids as she embraced her
husband. "Cookie, there must be someone in this world who has a pure heart.
There must be!"
"Maybe I should give up on Christmas."
Backing away from her husband, Sugar-plum's beautiful green eyes widened in
horror. Stuttering, she said, "But...but you're...Father Christmas...Santa
Clause."
Looking into his wife's horrified expression, Santa took her hand into his
and replied, "Sugar-plum, what else can I do?"
Eyeing her husband unhappily, she gave him a small smile. "Why don't you
play mall Santa for a while, and then you can decide about Christmas."
"Sugar-plum, that is a 'jingle bells' idea. I shall be with the people to
see if my prediction is true."

"Serena, honey, do you want to see Santa Clause?" Mrs. Tsukino said to her
four-year old daughter, walking through the Tokyo mall.
"Yeah! I want to see Santa, Momma!" bellowed Serena, jumping up and down.
"There is a small line of children to see Santa. Go ahead and get in line."
Mrs. Tsukino said, stopping her stroller to give Sammy his bottle.
"Okay, Mommy!" exclaimed Serena, running to the line.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(Santa's P.O.V.)
I was right. These children are just asking me for big expensive toys,
nothing for others. These children are the future of this planet and they
are all selfish.
"Santa Clause?"
I heard a small squeaky voice call out to me, snapping me from my thoughts.
Looking up to see the owner of the sweet squeaky voice, I was amazed by it's
owner, a cute little girl with a unique hair style and a beautiful porcelain
doll like face. All of a sudden, I felt myself fall into serene ease.
"Ho...Ho...Ho! What is your name little girl?"
Giving me a dazzling smile, she answered, "Serena Tsukino, but me sure you
already knew dat. After all you are Santa Clause."
"Ho...Ho...Ho!" I felt joy by this small girl's faith. If you only knew
small one. "Small one, will you like to sit on my lap."
Serena nodded eagerly and stretched out her arms to me. "Will you help me?"
"Of course, small one."
Oh, what a beautiful child! I feel so peaceful by her presence. What I was
going to say next, left my soul frozen with fear. "What do you want for
Christmas, small one?"
Serena's sky blue eyes sought mine, leaving my soul once again peaceful.
Tears suddenly filled her small porcelain like face, as she answered softly,
"Santa, me don't know if you can get me dis or not, and perhaps you dink me
silly."
Looking into her tearful eyes, I wiped away her sad tears. "What is it,
small one?"
Biting her lower lip, she answered sadly, "Santa, about two monds ago, Mommy
had my baby
broder. Me and Daddy went to de hospital to visit. Daddy told me to stay at
de waiting room to see if de nurses let me see dem." Stopping, Serena looked
away from me, sniffling as her eyes filled with unwanted tears.
"Little one, please continue." I knew this child was different and I was
anxious to hear what this angel wanted.
"Me heard crying, Santa. Me know...me shouldn't have...left de...waiting
room...but...me needed to...see who was...crying. Me know...Me was bad...for
not... listening to Daddy!" Serena cried out ashamed by her behavior.
My heart cried to her at once. Sweet, sweet child, what a good girl you are.
"It is okay small one, no one is perfect. Continue, sweet heart."
Serena awarded me with a small tearful smile and continued on with her story
calmly. "Me follow de cries to dis little boy. He was older den me, and my
heart hurt to see him cry." Serena said touching her heart. "You see Santa,
Me love to see people happy, not sad."
When she said this, I thanked God for sending me this little girl. I needed
her loving heart to give me strength to continue to be Santa Clause.
"He told me his name was Darien. He was crying because his friend was
leaving him and
dat...was the only friend...he got." Serena sobbed out as she remembered
Darien. "Me told him my name and me will be his friend," she said this,
smiling through her tears. "Me and daddy had bought a dozen of roses for
Mommy and my baby broder. Me gave a rose to Darien, and told him me will
aways be his friend."
Looking into my eyes, Serena confided in me happily. "Me want Darien to be
happy. Me want him to have a lot of friends, and find someone to love him a
lot. Santa, de only thing me want for Christmas is dat."
I felt tears running down my cheek, disappearing through my long white
beard, still not believing this child was in front of me.
"Me am being silly," Serena told me putting her head down sadly.
Grasping her chin softly, I lifted up her face and whispered, "Of course
not. You have a wonderful heart."
Happiness spread out through Serena's face, making her glow beautifully.
"Then you do it?!"
"Ho...Ho...Ho! It is a big gift, and it is going to take a while, but I will
do my best," I said giving her a huge hug.
"Dank you, Santa!" Serena exclaimed, hugging me tightly.
"Serena, I think you took enough of Santa's time." Mrs. Tsukino called out
to her daughter, fussing with a small baby in her arms.
Serena slid down from my lap and looked into my eyes searchingly. "Santa, me
love you. And you want to know why?"
"Why?" I asked, looking lovingly at her.
"Because you make children all around de world happy, by giving dem gifts."
I 'Ho..hoed' on Serena's cute remark, but what she said next shook my heart
wildly.
"Santa, never stop being Santa Clause. People are greedy, but dey can't help
demselfs. You are a symbol to de children on Christmas, widout you dere will
only be tears."
How did she know about my situation? "How..."
Serena interrupted me with words that stopped my heart from beating. "Your
eyes are de windows to your soul. Me saw it all."
With those words she ran to meet her mother.
Shaking my head, I finally knew that there will be hope for Christmas after
all. 'Sugar-plum you were right. There is someone in this world with a pure
heart.' Looking at small one chattering to her mother, I still couldn't
believe I finally found the child that stopped me from destroying a legend.
'Small one, you are an astonishing child. You asked nothing for yourself,
but you will receive a gift that your soul desires.'
