It was Christmas Eve at the North Pole. Santa was getting ready to deliver gifts to children around the world.
The reindeer were harnessed, the sleigh was full of presents, and the elves waved goodbye as Santa soared into the starry night.
First stop was a cozy house in a small village. Santa tiptoed to the chimney and carefully placed the presents under the twinkling tree.
In a bustling city, he climbed down a high-rise building and left gifts at the apartment doorstep. The city lights twinkled below.
Next, he journeyed to a sandy beach, leaving gifts under a palm tree while the gentle waves lapped the shore.
As the night passed, Santa visited many more houses, making children's dreams come true. The moon shone bright on his magical journey.
Finally, as the sun started to rise, Santa returned to the North Pole. The elves cheered as he landed, exhausted but joyful.
Mrs. Claus greeted him with a warm smile. 'You did wonderfully, dear. Now rest and enjoy Christmas Day,' she said.
Santa smiled and closed his eyes, feeling grateful for another successful Christmas. He knew the children's happiness was the greatest reward.
And as the world woke up to Christmas morning, the children discovered the magical gifts, and the spirit of joy filled the air.
