The whole town was happy because Christmas was just a few days away. Children were decorating trees with lights, ornaments, and colours. But in one small house, things were different.
A young boy named Alex said to his father,
“Dad, I also want a Christmas tree… with lights and decorations.”
His father James remained silent for a moment. Later he softly said,
“I will try, son.”
Finally, Christmas Day arrived — ” Merry Christmas ”
Alex understood that his family was suffering from poor financial conditions. He didn’t ask his father again. Instead, he went to the nearby forest and brought a tiny tree. He decorated it using handmade paper art.
He also wrote his Christmas wish on a piece of paper and tied it to the tree.
When James returned home, Alex proudly said,
“Dad, look! I made this.”
James smiled and appreciated his son’s effort,
“This is amazing, Alex.”
But someone was secretly watching them from a distance. Who was he? And why was he watching?

After some time, Alex and James went inside the house, where James’ wife had baked a small cake for Christmas.
The stranger who was watching approached the tree, took the paper , and read it:
“Dear Santa,
My family is suffering from a poor financial condition, My father has no job. He tries very hard but cannot find one.
Please bless us with love and help.”
The next morning, James received a phone call for a job interview. He went to the office and was selected with a very good salary package.
It felt like a miracle.
Actually, on Christmas Day, James had gone to the church and prayed:
“Dear God, we are struggling so much, Please bless my family, We don’t even have money to buy new clothes.”
He cried silently in front of God.
A man in the church saw him. He followed James to his home and decided to help the family. He was the one who read Alex’s wish and he made the miracle happen.
Moral of the Story:
Miracles may take time, but they do happen. We fail early only because we lose patience. Keep faith, stay consistent, and always express gratitude to God.
