Tis the night before Christmas, and the town is fast asleep. Soft snow blankets the streets, glowing under the pale moonlight. Inside a small, cozy house at the edge of town, a little boy named Oliver lies awake in his bed, listening.
The clock ticks slowly. The fireplace crackles. The air smells of pine and cinnamon.
Oliver believes in Christmas magic more than anything. Tonight, his heart beats fast as he wonders if Santa will really come. Suddenly, a faint sound drifts through the silence—bells, light and cheerful. His eyes widen.
Carefully, Oliver tiptoes to the window. In the sky, a red sleigh glides across the stars, pulled by reindeer that sparkle like they’re made of stardust. For just a moment, the sleigh slows, and Oliver swears he sees Santa wave.
By morning, the sleigh is gone, but something magical remains. Under the tree lies a small gift, wrapped in red paper, with a note that reads:
“Believe, and the magic will always find you.”
And from that night on, every Christmas felt just a little more magical.
