Once upon a time in a snowy village called Merryville, there lived a little girl named Emily who loved Christmas more than anything in the world. She couldn't wait for Christmas morning to come. So, she decided to write a letter to Santa Claus.

Dear Santa Claus, I have been good this year and I hope you visit me on Christmas Eve. I have only one wish – a cute little puppy. Love, Emily.

Christmas Eve arrived, and Emily couldn't sleep in excitement. She tiptoed downstairs to see if Santa had come. And to her surprise, there was a little puppy waiting under the Christmas tree, wagging its tail!

Emily named her new furry friend Snowball. They became inseparable, playing in the snow and spreading joy all around. Snowball brought so much happiness to Emily’s life.

On Christmas day, Emily and Snowball shared their joy with others. They visited the nearby nursing home and gave presents to the elderly residents. The smiles on their faces warmed everyone's hearts.

As they returned home, they spotted Santa Claus in the sky, flying away with his sleigh. Emily and Snowball waved goodbye, knowing that the magic of Christmas would always bring love, kindness, and joy.
