Astonish Me
In a heartwarming tale of festive innocence, a parent recently recounted an endearing encounter between his child and Santa Claus at the local shopping mall. Upon being asked by Santa what she wished for Christmas, the child’s unassuming response was just one word: “A surprise.” Santa, who presumably is no stranger to an array of unusual requests, was left momentarily speechless by this unexpected answer. It’s safe to say, it’s not often that Santa is left surprised, making this a remarkable feat in our eyes.

However, a child asking for a surprise rather than a high-end gift is indeed a breath of fresh air. This charming story tugs at our heartstrings, leaving us beaming. What an endearing child!
