The picture of Santa Claus in the town square was the centerpiece of the Christmas story that year. It showed Santa with his big red sack full of toys. A group of children gathered around it every day, imagining what Santa might bring them. One of the kids, Lucy, was sad because her family was poor. But on Christmas morning, she found a new dress and a doll just like in the picture of Santa Claus. It was a kind neighbor who played Santa.
In the picture of Santa Claus for a Christmas story, you can probably see Santa's big red suit. He has a white beard and a jolly smile. There might be his reindeer in the background or a big sack of toys over his shoulder.
Santa Claus lives at the North Pole all year long, preparing for Christmas. One year, there was a big snowstorm just before Christmas Eve. But Santa wasn't worried. He and his elves worked hard to make sure all the toys were ready. When the night came, Santa set off in his sleigh. He first stopped at a small village. There was a family there that had been having a tough year. Santa left them many presents. The children woke up the next morning and were overjoyed. Santa's kindness made their Christmas a very special one.
Imagine Santa Claus is possessed by an evil spirit. He arrives at a small town on Christmas night, but instead of spreading joy, he spreads fear. His jolly laugh has turned into an evil cackle. He starts to give out 'gifts' that are actually cursed objects. For example, a teddy bear that strangles its owner in their sleep or a toy train that runs over anyone in its path. The townspeople have to figure out how to stop this possessed Santa before it's too late.
One Christmas, Santa was flying over a snowy forest. He saw a small cottage. Inside was an old lady who was all alone. Santa left her a warm shawl and some delicious cookies. She woke up to a very merry Christmas.
