Designed for toddlers (2 years and under): a deliberately short, very simple and reassuring story.

Tommy was a little boy, just two years old. He lived in a big house with many friends. It was Christmas Eve, and Tommy had a special wish. "I wish for Christmas magic," he whispered.

Tommy's friend, Mr. Bear, nodded. "Christmas magic? That's nice," said Mr. Bear.

Tommy smiled. "Yes, magic for everyone," he said.

The room was warm and cozy. Lights twinkled, and a big tree stood tall. Tommy clapped his hands. "Pretty tree! Pretty lights!" he giggled.

Mr. Bear looked around. "Tommy, let's share the magic," he said.

"Yes, share magic!" Tommy agreed.

Tommy and Mr. Bear went to each friend. "Here is a candy cane," said Tommy, giving one to Molly, the dolly.

Molly smiled. "Thank you, Tommy! Merry Christmas!"

Next, they found Granny Goose. "Here is a shiny star," said Tommy.

Granny Goose chuckled. "Oh, how lovely! Merry Christmas, dear Tommy!"

Tommy's heart felt warm. "Merry Christmas, everyone!" he cheered.

That night, as stars twinkled, Tommy felt happy. His Christmas wish had come true. Magic was everywhere, in smiles and in sharing. Tommy snuggled with Mr. Bear. "Goodnight, Christmas magic," he whispered, and fell asleep with a big smile.
