Long long time ago, in an ancient place called Valley of Love, a tiny baby girl was born just days before Christmas. An unknown pretty fairy named her Verichelle Viora which means a brave and wise girl who loves praying.
On the night before Christmas -- Verichelle's first Christmas on earth -- she asked a Christmas angel: "Tell me the truth, here on earth, are Christmas prayers heard, and tell me if a santa claus is real"
"Yes, Verichelle, all Christmas prayers are heard, and Santa Claus is real!" replied the Christmas angel.
"Really, are you sure?"
"Yes, as sure as your tears and laughter!" added the Christmas angel.
"And Santa Claus' real?" asked Verichelle again.

"And Santa Claus' real?" asked Verichelle again.
Verichelle confused "Why, of course, Santa Claus is real. No one has ever seen Santa Claus, but many things you can't see, don't mean they are not real."
Verichelle confused and puzzled.
Oh my! How can you explain real things or not real things to a 40-day old baby!
"Well, Verichelle, can you see your mother's love?"
“No” replied Verichelle shaking her milk bottle (she was having her supper -- a bottle of milk).

Verichelle says her first Christmas prayers "That's right, but you can 'feel' her love -- her tender love-- can't you?" Verichelle smiled a very happy smile in agreement. Then, she closed her eyes, clasped her tiny hands, and started to say her prayers -- her first Christmas prayers.
As Verichelle was praying, the Christmas angel rang the Christmas bell and whispered as it flew to the sky: "Yes, Verichelle, all Christmas prayers are heard and Santa Claus is real, and many many blessings to you and to all on Christmas day!"
Merry Christmas! God bless us every one!
