On Christmas night, after I decorated the Christmas tree I prepared for Santa cookies and a glass of milk. I put my socks together with my family at the fireplace, the shoes at the door and of course I was waiting for the presents under the Christmas tree. In that night I made the bed near the fireplace on the coach, using a little trick with the hope to see Santa Claus. As usually I fall asleep but this time I had a special dream.
I went out with my brother to make a snowman. After we have finished it I went inside to look for a hat. It took me five minutes and when I went back in the yard the snowman was alive. I made some big eyes because I didn’t know what was happening. I thought that I see weird things, but everything was real. In that moment I realized that I have new clothes. I had a pair of green trousers and a red blouse on which was written Shtrumphy. I knew that Shtrumphy was my name. On the head I was wearing a Santa’s hat, and on my feet I had little red shoes. It was already twilight and on the sky you could see Santa’s sledge with the nine reindeers, the captain being Rudolph. They were coming to me, landing in the house yard. Santa gave me a long list with the name of some children and their presents and guess what: there was also my name on that list. I was curious so I looked for my present and I noticed that I was receiving the dreamed present. I couldn’t believe this but I realized that Santa got my letter and fulfilled my wish. From my yard Santa took me to his house in Laponia to have dinner with him and Santa’s wife, and to take the children’s presents.
Finally, I met the wife of Santa, about who people know only few things. She was a beautiful woman, with a white curly hair, dressed as Santa Claus. Their house had a room full of toys, where were the Santa’s goblins, a guest room, the bedroom and a little kitchen. You could see everywhere in the house photos with children all around the world. Until Santa had dinner, Rudolph, the red-nose reindeer made me a house tour. Everything was gorgeous, all over was snowing, distance away you could see the mountains’ peaks and the house was near a quiet forest.
After a while, Santa came to his sledge and we started working. After a short trip through the clouds, we arrived at a little house. Santa took his magic bag, stopped the time and made all the children fall asleep before his arrival. Our first stop was at a little girl house. As you all know, Santa is just a little bit podgy, so, in the moment when he should enter the house through the chimney, I thought that it will be impossible. But what a big surprise for me, Santa entered easily and I couldn’t understand how he did it. Together we went to my cousins, to the orphanages, to the children with no home and we still had a lot of presents to give away. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time because you could already see the dawn of the day. I was worried that Santa won’t arrive at my place. But seemed liked Santa thought to all, our last stop was at my house. I went down after him in the chimney and I saw myself on the coach, dressed in pyjamas and sleeping. Santa left my present under the Christmas tree and in my socks and shoes put some candies. Then, he drank the milk and ate the cookies, which were especially made for him. He didn’t forget to leave a present for my brother and for my parents, also.
Santa kissed me of goodbye, thanked me for the help that I have given to him and left, leaving me home. The person from the coach, namely me, woke up but Shtrumphy didn’t disappear. This could mean only one thing: I was still dreaming. Shtrumphy was so funny dressed and I was proud to be a Santa’s goblin. We looked at each other for a few minutes and Shtrumphy vanished in the moment that my brother entered the room shouting that Santa was in our house.
I woke up happy that I had such an adventurous night and went to see my present. I found out that Santa left me a T-shirt on which was written my goblin name, Shtrumphy, and in the present box there was…
