One day, when I woke up, I found myself at somebody’s home. At first, I didn’t no where it was. But when I looked around, I saw some beautiful decorations. I also saw a fat man with a white beard and he was dressed in red. He was Santa Claus! I was very excited because I had never been to Santa Claus’ home, but then I was there.
Santa Claus was friendly and kind. When he saw me he said, ’Come and eat breakfast. You must be very happy.’ When he talked, he looked very sad. It seemed that he was in trouble.
After breakfast, Santa Claus went to the factory as usual. I followed him. There were many workers. They made presents that Santa Claus gave to children.
After visiting the factory, I asked Santa Claus,
‘Why do you look sad?’
‘I think that the children don’t like my presents anymore,’ Santa replied. ‘In the past, I just gave small gifts to the children. They were satisfied with the presents and they were full of joy. But now children are not as happy as in the past and some of them are even dissatisfied with the presents.’
‘Actually, what they lack is love.’ I said. ‘They long for their parents’ love. Unfortunately, their parents buy a lot of things like toys, PSPs, computer games etc. for the children to show their love. The children have become materialistic. I suggest that you give some time for the children to have family time,’
Then, Santa Claus picked up his magic wand and read out some spell. Every family had their family time for one whole day. People were very happy. The world was full of joy. Santa and I were very happy, too. We laughed happily and loudly. Suddenly, I woke up by my laughter. ‘Oh! It was my dream!’ However, from that day onwards, I enjoyed my family time, especially at Christmas.
