A FAIRY TALE COVID 19 CHRISTMAS BY MARK ANTHONY RAINES.




 Once upon a Christmas tale a story was about to begin. 

Poor children at number four were very worried. 

I wonder what about let's see;Emma a little girl with  blonde ringlets and a cute button nose is saying to her brother Simon  who is younger than her but just a year. 

"Is Santa going to be able to deliver our Christmas presents this year? "

"Why's That"asks Simon. 

Emma "Because of that Horrid disease Covid 19;as you Santa is very old and I dare say a bit fat.

Simon "Now I am worried too?"


Far away in the deep deepest part of the North Pole .
Where no explorers have not discovered for many a century. 
You find a magical building in all the world; Santa's Grotto and I talking about the real deal not the ones Santa gives his image rights to in the big department stores. 
This grotto has amazing fairy lights and you can hear the happy songs of the Elfs whilst building the all the toys by hand for all the  boys and girls around the world. 
Sitting in his armchair is a very old man ;white long beard; a slightly red nose ;some call him Saint Nicholas you know him as Father Christmas or Santa Claus. 
Suddenly Santa is disturbed by crys from around the world all saying the same thing. 
"How is Santa going to deliver our Christmas presents this year due to Covid 19"
"I hope Santa is not ill as due him being overweight he is at high risk of getting the dreaded disease "



Santa goes into his most secret room where inside is a box containing magic. He is the only one who can open the magicial box as it's is voice operated  by his Ho Ho Ho.
Santa opens the small wooden magical box to reveal inside the golden glowing which contains an very powerful magic:the true magic of Christmas :which smells of pine needles;spice and candy treats. 
The box is powered by all the children of the whole world Christmas wishes. 
With a puff of red and white and green and yellow smoke the Christmas magic covers Santa with an invisible force field which nothing can enter not even Covid 19.

Later on on a cold but sadly no snow due to global warming, it was Christmas eve night. 
The sound of sleigh  bells and patter of reindeer hooves can be heard if any boys or girls were awake  
But you see since the Dawn of Father Christmas it has been an unwritten rule if anyone is awake when Santa arrives you just get a lump of coal instead of a present. 
So Santa moves around House number Four so quiet he does not disturb the mouse sleeping in his nest in the wall.
He places the presents for Emma and Simon; Mum and Dad by the fake plastic Christmas tree. 
Santa then eats the carrots :drinks the milk and stuffs the mince pies in his jacket to give to the reindeer later on ;Santa then leaves a letter to Emma and Simon. 
Then in a puff of smoke before you could say Brussels Sprouts he disappears into the Christmas Eve night. 


The very next day being Christmas Day ;Emma and Simon slowly creep down the stairs not expecting to find much in all in present s but to thier surprised delighted faces ,present s galore surrounded the Christmas tree. 
Both let out a shreik of pure joy :waking up Mummy and Daddy who both were just as shocked. 

Besides the hordes of presents was a letter with the names of Emma and Simon on the front. 
Both wandered what the letter said so in unison both carefully opened it .
Faces lit up and cheeks got a bit rosy red.
This is what the letter said.

"To Emma and Simon 
I heard your plea and I sensed your worry about this unique Christmas and  not getting your present s during Covid 19 .
I knew it was going to be all fine and dandy with a  little bit of the magic of Christmas. 
Enjoy your presents"


Yours 
Santa Claus 
P.s
I prefer big boned to being bit fat ;I eat all the carrots; the reindeer eat the mince pies. 
See you next year "


MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.
