The Magical Christmas Orb (Children S Story)



(1/5/13)

his name was Jaden and her name was Jan
who lived in a far and distant land
now jaden was eight years old, but an adventurer you see
and his little six year old sister jan was as reckless as can be.

they had always gotten the gifts they wanted each christmas day
and for hours on end they would both play.
jaden would picture himself as a pirate
who would sail the seven seas, and jan was
the princess who was as beautiful as can be.

jaden was following his fathers footsteps
a carpenter by trade and from scraps of wood
many a toy he had made.
he carved the faces of two horses and put them
on long wooden poles, and he and his sister jan
would ride them in the rain, heat or cold.

the townspeople knew that he carried the christmas
spirit in his heart and loved to explore every thing
and take things apart and his father couldn't stop him
and didn't know what to do, so he told him and jan
'follow your heart and never give up hope
through trial and error, you'll learn how to cope.'

the townspeople had told them that there was
an enchanted forest where no one dared to go
but they were young and brave and into the forest they did go.

into the forest they did travel, bushes and branches
they had to unravel.
they heard sounds of every kind coming from
the ground and from the air
but they refused to show their fear.

the sun was starting to go down, as strange
shadows appeared all around.
they continued walking hand in hand
in this strange enchanted land.
but a fear started creeping in
as they wished they were back home again.

when one of them kicked something on the ground
it was a magical orb that they had found.
so beautiful, so bright, so perfectly round
the light from it radiated so bright
like looking directly into the sunlight.

when they held it in their hands
it was so warm, like their mothers arms
when they was born -a sense of security filled their being
this is what they was feeling and seeing.

the orb was so unique-which ever way you turned it
' inside you could peek'.
now not knowing what powers it may bring
they was afraid of doing much of any thing
out of the orb came a voice which said:
'follow this road that i will clear
to a lost village and it will take you there.

so they followed the road that the orb had said
they hurried along so that they could rest their heads.
the road opened up to a village that was covered from sight
as an elderly man came out to find out what was that light.

we know who you are! you are Jaden and you are Jan
you was destined to free us from this enchanted land.
we had a village just like you, but we laughed about christmas
we did'nt think it was true.

he told us about a man called Santa who lived in the north pole
and gave out toys to the young and some to the old.
we laughed so hard cause we couldn't believe
that someone would make toys and give to the needy.

the mystic got angry because we laughed and did not care and said:
' no joy will you ever feel - until you acknowledge that Santa is real'.
so he made this enchanted forest and gave us everything to survive
but to the outside world we would no longer be alive.
none of you will ever be able to leave this place
but! 'one day' two children will come this way.
they will carry a magical orb which you will see
and if you changed your ways you'll be set free.

so for thirty years they were hidden from the world
every grown up and every boy and girl.
but they still did not feel what christmas was all about
and they'd get even angrier and begin to scream and shout.

now Jaden and Jan knew what christmas was all about
so they gathered the people in the square, and told them
of how christmas came about.
when our saviour was born in a manger and all
the angels gathered all around, and all you heard was their lovely sound.

the hearts of two seperate men who helped others
and called everyone sisters and brothers.
but the one who was called Santa gave thanks to the saviour
who was born in a Bethlehem manger.

the townspeople still could not feel the christmas spirit
even after the beautiful story of CHRIST.
when to their surprise the orb began to rise
as they stood there hypnotized.

then out of the orb came the bright light
it showed the townspeople the birth of our savior CHRIST
and how santa came to be, and the toys that he gave for free.
after seeing the joy on peoples faces tears filled their eyes
and their hearts embraced it.
the spirit of christmas was filling their souls
and making them completly whole.

they felt so excited that they started to dance and sing
never realizing how much joy christmas could bring.
now that they had the christmas spirit
roads opened up from the town, and the voices
of the choir was all around.

they now knew why for the last ten years toys they did make
it was to go from town to town for the children s sake.

(they say that if you looked up and searched the skies
you'll see the orb flying high)
