Every Christmas millions of children write a letter to Santa Claus asking for presents and gifts in exchange for a promise to be good and obey their parents.
Instead what I'm about to tell you the story of a boy named Alexander, who in five years received nothing less than a letter from Santa Claus himself!
It was Christmas Eve and like all Christmas Eve, after returning home from the usual dinner with my grandparents, Alexander was very excited about the imminent arrival of Santa Claus. So went to sit on the couch in the room with every intention not to go to sleep until it arrives.
fact for the whole week before Alessandro had thought of a plan to surprise Santa Claus and delivered the gifts. No child had ever seen and he would be the first.
So the dark lit only by the flashing lights of the tree and the crib Alessandro sat patiently waiting.
His father John, all the fathers as being very clever and cunning, he had already figured out the intentions of the child, so she sat next to him saying: "But Alex, everybody knows that if you do not go to sleep Father Christmas does not can get, "and, knowing the reaction it would have little to this sentence, he added," but if you want, I have the solution "
excitedly jumped upon the child to his father and two eyes caused brisk nod safe now could be the first child would have seen Santa Claus.
"Then tonight," she said Papa Gianni "pretend to sleep here on the couch. But you have to be very good and needs to look like you're sleeping. If there is no Santa Claus falls and is not to bring gifts. And you want them gifts, right? "
" are many many, many, "said Alessandro
" Then while you are there pretending to sleep as soon as you hear the noise you'll pull up and hugged him. And you'll see how it will be happy. Why just the other day I read in the newspaper that this year Santa is very sad. "
" Why? " Alexander asked all intrigued
"Because you know that for many many years, brings gifts to good children but since they can get into a home only if the children are in bed to sleep, he, in all these years, she has never seen one from the truth. And he'd rather see him so much! "
" Really? And me, making me see, I'll make you happy? "
" Yes "Dad nodded Gianni" to make him happy but you're also ready to take the risk that is not and does not bring you presents because you realize you're not really sleeping? "
" Yeah sure. And then you'll not notice anything! "
" Okay, you're very generous " Dad said, "Now run and get your pajamas and brush your teeth. Meanwhile, I'm a mother to give me a cloth for you "
few minutes later Alex came in the room, he lay on the couch and her daddy wrapped with a blanket wishing him good night. Alessandro
immediately closed her eyes pretending to sleep very well but being attentive to all the noises. Was determined to be seen as Santa Claus.
Suddenly he heard a shutter open. He pulled up the shutter thinking, "It 'him ..." but it was morning and was no longer room in the room but in his bed.
What could have happened?
got up and went running in the room where he found the mum and dad smiling with open arms waiting for him. And many gifts under the tree.
"But Daddy, what happened?"
"Come on Alex, look here what I found. A letter signed by you for Santa Claus "
" What does it say? What does it say? "Cried the excited boy
And immediately the father began to read
" Dear Alex,
tonight was great surprise and happiness in being there waiting for me. Your presence was truly the best gift someone has ever done. Because remember that friendship, love and kindness are the most important values \u200b\u200bin life. Keep in mind.
Vededoti uncomfortable on the couch but I brought you in your bed so that I could sleep well and then celebrate the best Christmas with your family. Merry Christmas
Alessandro
SANTA CLAUS "
That short letter to Alexander was the best gift he ever received and from that distant December 25 the jealously guards in a secret place that only he knows!
