Page 3
Santa's Story
was created especially for
Jessica Ann Smith
at the age of 6
With love from
Mommy and Daddy
Christmas 2006

Page 4
'Twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house,
not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse.

Pages 5&6 - Illustration Pages

Page 7
Jessica in her nightshirt
settled into bed, while visions of
dolls danced in her head.

Page 8
You've heard this before,
this story's not new.
I've added a twist,
your name's in here too.
Pages 9&10 - Illustration Pages

Page 11
I'm jolly and round
and I wear a red suit,
I visit each home with a
sled filled with loot.

Page 12
And what is this loot
that I bring in my sled?
Simply toys, like dolls,
and balls that are red.

There are clothes and shoes
and candy canes pink,
and then there's some coal
for the bad kids, I think.

Pages 13&14 - Illustration Pages

Page 15
Some say that I'm Santa,
some say I'm a fad,
some folks even say
I look just like your dad.

Page 16
But one thing's for certain
on this special night,
the world stops its churning
and pushing its might.

Pages 17&18 - Illustration Pages

Page 19
The smokestacks are turned off,
the workers go home,
machines become silent
from Warrenton to Rome.

Page 20
Up in the sky,
late at night there's a glow,
where a special star twinkled
many years ago.

Pages 21&22 - Illustration Pages

Page 23
Peace and goodwill
fill our hearts from the light.
Mary gave birth
to Baby Jesus that night.

Page 24
Wise men brought gifts,
they came from afar,
they found their way there,
they followed the star.

The rest of the story is told in a book
called the Bible, it's great,
one day take a look.

Pages 25&26 - Illustration Pages

Page 27
Now onward and upward
I'll sail through the night.
I'm still the tradition
of what's good and what's right.

Page 28
And because you'll get presents,
I know Christmas Day
will not be forgotten
as you laugh and you play.
But remember the reason
for peace and great joy,
it comes from our Christ,
and not just from a toy.

Pages 29&30 - Illustration Pages

Page 31
So, Jessica, hang your stockings
by the chimney with care,
don't worry about me,
I'll still be there.

Page 32
I'll munch on the snacks,
drink the milk that you leave,
I do it each year
the same time, Christmas Eve.

Pages 33&34 - Illustration Pages



Page 35
My reindeer are ready,
the time is just right.
Go to sleep now, Jessica,
Merry Christmas,
Good Night!
