Timmy's First Christmas
On a chilly December day, little Timmy woke up to a world transformed. It was his first Christmas, and he was eager to learn all about it. His parents showed him a tall, shimmering tree, covered in lights, ornaments, and a bright star at the top. 'This is a Christmas tree, Timmy,' his dad said. 'We decorate it as a symbol of joy and hope.' Next, mom showed him a sock hung by the fireplace. 'This is a Christmas stocking. Santa Claus, a jolly old man from the North Pole, will fill it with gifts if you're good,' she explained. Timmy was excited. He loved gifts! Then, they baked cookies together and left some by the fireplace for Santa. 'Sharing is a big part of Christmas, Timmy,' Mom said. 'We give to show how much we care.' That night, Timmy fell asleep with dreams of Santa and gifts. He woke up to find his stocking filled with toys and candies. As he looked at his gifts, his parents, and the beautiful tree, he realized Christmas was not just about getting. It was about loving, sharing, and being with family. This, he thought, was truly magical.
