Cute, sweet short Christmas story!

Very cute and sweet little Christmas short story. The miracles of a child, full of hope and longing for lots of presents turns into the need for a safe and happy home life when he really looks around and starts to understand what is happening around him. Absolutely lovely. Kindness comes in all packages, too. Definitely recommended!

Umm I can’t believe a 7 year old was able to make those decisions. I would love to think a 7 year old is that selfless

Cute for a short story but almost too short. Could have used a little more development. But I couldn’t write a cute 24 page Christmas story so who am I to judge?!

so sweet

Heartfelt Christmas story with an amazing message about the importance of love and kindness to other how giving back selflessly can make a huge impact in people life

Close to Thanksgiving, Benny is concerned about toys and writing everything he wants in his Christmas list, but after a reality check from a teacher and seeing how things are back home, he realizes that not everything his heart desires is on the well curated list and that it might take a miracle for his dreams to come true.
A short story never meant to be published, but definitely written from the heart, The Christmas List will remind anyone who reads it of the true meaning of the season and the power of believing.
