Once upon a time, in a small snowy town, there lived a little girl named Emma. She had curly brown hair, rosy cheeks, and the biggest smile. But the thing she loved most in the world was her daddy.
It was Christmas Eve, and Emma was very excited! She helped her daddy decorate the tree with twinkling lights and shiny ornaments. The house smelled like warm cookies and hot cocoa.
“Daddy, what do you want for Christmas?” Emma asked, sitting on his lap.
Her father smiled and said, “I already have the best gift—YOU!”
Emma giggled. “No, Daddy! A real gift! What do you want?”
Her daddy thought for a moment and said, “A big, warm hug from my little girl!”
Emma laughed and gave him the BIGGEST, TIGHTEST HUG EVER.
That night, Emma couldn’t sleep. She wanted to give her daddy something very special. But she had no money to buy a gift.
Then she had an idea!
Emma grabbed some paper, crayons, and glitter. She worked very hard, drawing a picture of her and Daddy holding hands under a big Christmas tree. She wrote (in big, wobbly letters):
“I LOVE YOU, DADDY! MERRY CHRISTMAS!”
She put the drawing under the Christmas tree and ran to bed, excited for morning.
On Christmas morning, Daddy saw Emma’s gift. His eyes filled with happy tears.
“This is the best Christmas present ever!” he said, hugging Emma tight.
Emma smiled and said, “Now you have TWO Christmas gifts—my drawing AND my hug!”
Daddy laughed. “You’re right! I’m the luckiest daddy in the world!”
And so, that Christmas, Emma learned that the best gifts don’t come from a store—they come from the heart. ❤️ The End. 🎄✨
