Christmas Story: The Santa Runaway
Dawn came early that winter's day, as Christmas dawns do, for habbos anyway. Rubbing weary eyes, jumping out of bed, clearing out cobwebs from sleepy little heads. Waking up their parents from a warm winter's sleep, looking out in the yard, fresh snow… a foot deep. All the little habbos of our little town were up and about, all running around. Then down with a shout and a giggle of glee, to the hearth, and stockings, and the big Christmas tree. But all of a sudden they stopped with a stare, for it looked as if Santa had never been there. The tree was still bright with lights like before, but there were no toys or presents on the old wooden floor.
The habbos were quiet, some started to cry, they all were confused, their tears asking "Why?" The hobbas told the habbos there was nothing to do, there were no Christmas presents, but why? No one knew. So they all had their breakfasts but none ate a lot, then all left for church at ten on the dot. When they got to the church, the pastor seemed bright, but he sensed right away that things weren't just right. After all had been told his arms opened wide, and he hugged one and all as he walked them inside.
His sermon that day was special for sure, and as for the doldrums, it seemed the best cure. He reminded them then the reason they were there, and he told them that Christmas was A BIRTHDAY AFFAIR. He told them that birthdays were times of great joy, when we give our friends gifts like clothing or toys. He told them that Christ was today's birthday boy, and that them being there would bring him great joy. He told them the story of the first Christmas night, Of Derek and Joseph and a star very bright. He told them to be happy, to sing! To enjoy! He told them that Christmas was much more than just toys.
The hobbas just listened, and the habbos did too, and began to understand, and to feel better too. And a Christmas without toys was really not bad, especially when they realized all the things that they had. So they finished the service, and jumped in the car, And rode home to have the best Christmas by far. And when they got home Christmas was complete, for Santa had been there, on their very street. To all he left presents, and smiles broad and wide, and a little white envelope, with a message inside. Then papa and mama and the kids gathered 'round, and while papa read the note there was no other sound.
