Preface :
Rahul lives in a small village where winters are very cold . Christmas is near , and the children of the village are excited . But , Rahul doesn’t believe it .
Chapter 1: The Growing Excitement of the Village
The winter season was at its peak . A layer of snow was spread on the streets of the village , and the roofs of the houses were covered with white sheets . There was a pleasant silence everywhere , but there was a special excitement in this cold air . The children of the village were getting ready to celebrate Christmas with their families .
On a small square in the village , children gathered enthusiastically listening to stories of Santa Claus . One child explained , ” When Santa comes at night and hands out presents , no one can see him ! ” Her eyes were bright . Another child shared his experience and said , ” I saw Santa one year ! He was very huge and he always had a smile on his face .
But there was one child who was different from this excitement . His name was Rahul . He was a round – faced , deep- eyed child , but he had a doubt in his mind . ” Is Santa real ? ” Rahul thought . For him it was part of imagination and stories , not reality . On Christmas night , when the rest of the children were lost in dreams , Rahul sat by the door and looked at the stars in the sky . He regretted that he had no faith to be a part of this magical night .
” If Santa really existed , he would have brought some gifts for me , ” he said to himself . But every time , his inner voice told him that Santa is just a story that adults tell to make small children happy .
One day , when it snowed in the village , Rahul went out with his friends to make snow puppets . They were building a pretty big mannequin when suddenly a friend shouted , ” Let ‘s write a letter to Santa ! We ‘ll tell him what we want ! “ All the children clapped and wrote letters enthusiastically .
Rahul thought for a while and then decided to write a letter of his own . But his letter was slightly different . He wrote :
” Dear Santa , I do n’t know if you really exist , but if you do , please send me a gift . I want to believe , but I ca n’t believe you ‘re real . Please tell me you really exist . “
Rahul hung the letter on a snow – covered branch . He felt that perhaps this is his final attempt to believe in Santa . Seeing him , his friends clapped and said , ” Look , Rahul has written a letter to Santa ! ” But the doubt remains in Rahul ‘s mind .
On those cold winter nights , when the fire was lit and everyone was warm in their homes , Rahul often wondered . Does Santa really exist ? And if he does , why ca n’t he see him ? He would get lost in his wishes and dreams , but still there was an incompleteness in his mind .
That cold night , as he lay in his bed , he thought , ” If I could meet Santa once , my doubts would be over . ” Will his wish ever come true ? Will he really be able to see Santa ? This question kept going around in his mind again and again .
The Christmas celebrations were increasing in the village , but there was only one question in Rahul ‘s mind – is Santa Claus really real ?
Rahul ‘s journey begins here . A journey that was ready to make him believe – with a magical night .
In the next chapter , we will know how Rahul ‘s magical journey begins without meeting Santa .
Chapter 2: Ek Raat Ka Jadu
Village nights were often cold , lonely and mysterious . But the scene that night was something special . The moon was shining fully , and the whole village was shining with its light . All the children were busy celebrating Christmas , but Rahul still had the same doubt in his mind . He decided to leave everyone and come to a quiet place , his garden .
He was sitting in the garden , enjoying the moonlight . There was a light layer of snow around him , forming specks everywhere . In the cold breeze , there was only one thought running through his mind , ” Is Santa real ? ” His eyes were directed towards the twinkling stars , in which some beautiful eyes seemed to be looking at him .
Then , suddenly , Rahul saw a strange glow . He was startled at first , but curiosity arose in his mind . He decided to walk towards that light . He slowly took steps and started following it . As he moved forward , the light became more intense and he started feeling an unusual feeling .
That flashing light led him to an old village hall . This group was located in the outer part of the village , where no one went . But deep down he felt that he should go there . As soon as he opened the door to the closet , he felt a pleasant aroma and a slight warmth .
Inside the hamlet , everything was deserted . But then , suddenly , a big , chubby man appeared in the room . It was none other than Santa Claus himself ! He had a long white beard , a red suit and a smile on his face as usual .
Rahul said in surprise , ” Kya aap sach mein Santa hain ? “
Santa smiled and said , ” Yes , little friend ! It ‘s me . I read your letter . You do n’t believe me , do you ?”
Rahul bowed his head and said , ” Yes , because I could not see you . And I want to know whether you are real or not. “
Santa looked into his eyes and said , ” Faith is not just about seeing , son. It is about feeling from the heart . This night I have come to tell you something special . “
Before Rahul could say anything , Santa took out a glowing glass from his hat and showed it to him . “ This is a magic glass . If you see it , you will believe it . ”
Santa tilted the glass and suddenly a picture of many children floated in the garden . The children were laughing , jumping and jumping happily with gifts . Rahul saw that there was happiness and joy on the faces of those children . He realized that all these children ‘s happiness was because of Santa .
“ It ’s all a result of your faith , ” Santa said , “ When you believe , magic happens . And this magic happens not only in front of your eyes , but also in your heart . ”
Rahul felt a stirring in his mind . He knew that this was something special . His eyes were tears , but it was tears of happiness . He took a deep breath from his heart and said , ” I want to believe . “
Santa looked at her and said , ” Then let ‘s go back to your world . Nothing is impossible tonight . “
Thus , Santa picked her up in his arms and they walked out of the entourage . In the blink of an eye , they slowly reached back to the village . There now Rahul ‘s faith was even deeper . He had now learned that Santa is not just a person , but a symbol of love and happiness .
In the next chapter we will know how the village changes after Rahul and Santa ‘s magical night , and how Rahul along with his friends exposes the reality of Santa .
Chapter 3: The Mystery of Santa
There was a quiet atmosphere in the village , where the moonlight was still scattered . Santa and Rahul came out of the hamlet , and stood in the radiant night , breathing heavily . Rahul now believed from the depths of his heart that Santa Claus was real , but his mind was still curious to know something more .
Santa smiled and said , ” Rahul , I know you were not believing me . But now you have seen what the truth is . By the way , do you know why I give gifts to children ? “
Rahul asked wide – eyed , ” Why , Santa ?”
Santa took a deep breath and said , ” I give gifts because I love the happiness of children . When you smile happily , it makes me happy too . I have always seen that children believe with all their heart . Making their dreams come true , giving them happiness , this is my purpose . “
He further added , “ Around the world , every child has hope in their hearts , and when they call out my name with sincerity , it creates magic . Because of this magic , I treasure a bag full of gifts , filled with the hopes and joys of children . ”
Rahul insisted , ” Can you tell me more how this magic works ? “
Santa smiled and said , ” This magic lies in the happiness we all share with each other . When you do something good for someone , that happiness becomes part of that good deed . And when someone Happiness in a child ‘s eyes is a true gift .
Suddenly , Santa said , ” Now I will take you to a special place . This place will deepen your faith . “
Rahul asked curiously , ” Where ? “
Santa raised his magic wand and made a beautiful magical bridge appear . The bridge was hanging in the air and reaching up to the sky . He said , ” It is through this magical bridge that we will experience something wonderful . Come , let ‘s cross it . “
Rahul stepped on the bridge after some hesitation . As they crossed the bridge , bright lights and music blared all around . On reaching the other side of the bridge , he saw a beautiful garden , where children were smiling and happy . All the children were playing there , giggling with the gifts , and their faces were full of joy .
There was a big beautiful tree in the garden , on which colorful buckets were hanging , and in each of those buckets there was a gift .
Santa said , ” This is your world , where all wishes come true . You can come here only when you believe with all your heart . This is not just a dream , it is a symbol of the love that connects us all to each other . “
Rahul ‘s eyes lit up . He understood that this magical garden was actually a symbol of the happiness of the children to whom Santa gave gifts . ” So it ‘s not just about the gifts , ” he understood , ” it ‘s a way of sharing happiness ! “
Santa looked at him and said , ” That ‘s right . Every gift tells a story , and every story begins a new belief . You too can be a part of this magic . “
Rahul ‘s heart was filled with emotion , and he said to Santa , ” Whatever I have done till now , I know , I too can share happiness . I will tell my friends that Santa is real and we too have to include others in happiness . “
Santa smiled and said , ” You are right . And that is my real message . When you do something for others , you create magic . “
This journey through the magical bridge was opening a new door of faith for Rahul . The doubt that he had earlier had now turned into faith .
In the next chapter , we will know how Rahul shares his newly learned lesson with his friends and how the atmosphere of celebration is created in the village .
Chapter 4: The Magical Bridge Experience
Walking on the magical bridge , Rahul had many questions in his mind , but his eyes were bright and his mind was full of joy . Walking with Santa , he was experiencing magic in the corners of his heart .
As they moved along the bridge , suddenly the sounds of many children ‘s happiness echoed around . Rahul saw that small scenes were unfolding on both sides of the bridge . In every scene , there were children with ugly faces , who were seen laughing and playing .
In one scene , Rahul saw a little girl named Maya playing with her new toy . His eyes shone brightly and she shouted happily , ” Look , this is my favorite toy ! “ It turns out that Maya shared this toy with all her friends and everyone was happily playing . This is how Rahul realized that true happiness comes when we share our happiness with others .
As they moved on , the next scene he saw was another child , who was sick some time ago , was now well and celebrating a Christmas party with friends . All the children were surrounding him , giving him gifts and singing along . Their happiness and togetherness touched Rahul ‘s heart .
” Yah sab kya hai ?” Rahul asked Santa curiously .
Santa smiled and said , “ It is not for you to see , but to experience . Every gift , every smile , every joy tells a story . It all turns into magic when you love others and show kindness to them . ”
Further on , a scene caught Rahul ‘s attention . He found Santa Claus with his helpers preparing presents . They were all working consciously . In the main room , Santa called out , ” Here we have more presents to make , kids. We have to get them to every single kid ! “
Rahul had never seen before how hard Santa works , how carefully he prepares the gifts . He has to take care of the happiness of those children not just for one night , but for the whole year .
” He doesn’t just distribute gifts in one night ,” Rahul explained , ” he works all year long to make sure every child is happy . “
This experience filled Rahul with new energy . His confidence grew even more . He realized that this was not the time to only dream , but also to make those dreams come true .
As they moved towards the end of the bridge , Rahul looked at Santa and said , ” I want to do the same ! I will spread happiness to the children of my village . Just like you did for me . “
Santa put his hand on his shoulder and said , ” This is the real magic , Rahul ! When you decide to do something from your heart , you spread happiness in the hearts of others . “
With this renewed enthusiasm and faith , Rahul crossed the magical bridge . There was a new glow in his confidence . He knew that sharing happiness is not just Santa ‘s job , but every child ‘s and every person ‘s job .
In the next chapter we will see how Rahul tells his friends about this magical experience and creates a festive atmosphere in the village .
Chapter 5: The Importance of Gifts
After crossing the magical bridge, Rahul returned to his village, but he had many new things in his heart. He decided to share the lessons he learned from Santa with his friends. He knew that this could give a new direction to not only him but all the children of the village.
As soon as he reached the streets of the village, Rahul gathered his friends. The children were playing together at one place, when Rahul said, “Listen, everybody! I had a magical experience with Santa Claus. I want to tell you that gifts are not only material things.”
All the children started looking at him curiously.
Rahul further said, “Santa told me that gifts are a symbol of love and affection. When we give a gift to someone, it is a part of our heart.”
A child named Mohan said, “But gifts are just things, like toys or sweets. Are you right?”
“Understand the meaning of receiving them. When Santa gave Maya fresh toys, she was overjoyed. But the magic behind it was knowing that she has received the gift with love,” Rahul said with a smile.
All the children started looking at each other. Then Santa appeared there and said, “Rahul is right. The real meaning of a gift is understood only when we give it from the heart. When we give a gift full of love and affection, it creates a special feeling.”
Santa said, “Every gift has a story attached to it. When you give a gift to someone, you share in his happiness. And that is the greatest magic of life.”
Rahul listened to them attentively and said, “We too can have a festival where we give our friends not just material gifts but love and happiness.”
All the children got excited. Now they understood how important it is to exchange happiness and love with each other like Santa Claus.
The children came up with a plan together. They decided that each child would make a special gift in their own way, with their hard work and love. They decided that this gift would not only represent the things they give, but would also symbolize their feelings for each other.
All the children got together. They collected coloured papers, old toys, and many other things. One drew pictures on paper, another made sweets, and some decorated old books beautifully. Every child prepared gifts from his heart.
A festive atmosphere began to build up in the village. All the children were happy and excited. They worked diligently on decorating their gifts, and looked forward to finally giving them to each other.
As the day passed and festival time arrived, all the children gathered in the village square. A beautiful table was set up there, on which their collective gifts were placed.
Addressing all the friends, Rahul said, “This is our gift festival. Today we will come together and exchange love and affection with each other.”
When the children started giving their gifts to each other, there was a wave of happiness. The emotions hidden in the gifts connected everyone to each other. There was happiness in the eyes of the children and immense satisfaction in their smiles. They understood that gifts are not just things, but the voice of their hearts.
In the next chapter, we will see how the joy of this celebration reaches the adults of the village, and how a new magic infuses the day.
Chapter 6: Return to the Village
Rahul was shocked for a few moments . Was it the most magical dream ever , or was there actually something to learn from it ? He sat up and his mind began to stir . Santa ‘s words echoed in his mind : ” The real meaning of a gift is understood when we give it with heart . “
Although it was all a dream , the magic still lingered in Rahul ‘s heart . He knew that this dream had given him a new perspective . He realized that true happiness comes from sharing the happiness of others .
” I have to share this with my friends ,” he thought. ” This message is in my heart , and I want to get it across to everyone . “
Rahul quickly dressed and ran towards the village . His steps were swift , and his heart was filled with a new energy . He was thinking of gathering his friends , so that he could tell them about his dream and explain the importance of giving gifts and happiness .
When he reached the village , he called the children . All the kids came laughing and smiling . Rahul caught everyone ‘s attention and said , ” Listen , I have had a wonderful dream in which I met Santa Claus . He told me that gifts are not just things , but symbolize love and affection . “
There was curiosity on the faces of the children . Some said , ” Did Santa really come in your dream ? “
Rahul nodded yes and said , ” Yes ! And I experienced that when we fill each other with happiness , that ‘s when we feel the true magic . We should all celebrate a new festival together , where we belong . “ Share love and happiness with each other through gifts .
The children ‘s eyes lit up . They looked at each other and Rahul ‘s words started spreading magic in their hearts . They decided that they will celebrate a special day where every child will make their own loving gift and give it to each other .
As they started planning , Rahul felt that his dream had become an important part of his life . He knew that just putting it into words was not enough . He had to inspire his friends to live the joy of that day .
The sounds of laughter and games among the village children gradually spread throughout the village . Slowly the adults also started feeling their excitement . When they heard that the children were deciding to give gifts , many of them also decided to join in the children ‘s excitement .
Rahul realised that this new magic was not just coming from his dream , but from his new understanding and the joy he felt in the hearts of his friends . And thus , a new joy filled the village – Santa ‘s magic had become a reality .
In the next chapter we will see how preparations are made for this festival and what kind of atmosphere is created in the village .
Chapter 7 : Celebrating Santa
There was a special atmosphere in the village on Christmas night . The starry night , the cool breeze and the moonlight gave everything a magical look . The children gathered , their eyes lit up with excitement and joy . Together they had made special preparations for the day they were going to pay their respects to Santa .
A big tree was decorated in the village square , with bright bulbs and colourful decorations . Children stood with gifts in their hands , which they had made from their hearts . Each gift told a unique story . Some were toys , some books , and some were packets of sweets . Children were waiting anxiously to give their gifts to each other .
Rahul gathered his friends and said , ” These gifts are the feelings of our hearts . Today we will be like Santa , who shares love and happiness . The real magic of this night is the happiness we give to each other . “
All the kids nod in agreement . They held each other ‘s hands and formed a seminar . Rahul then said , ” Today we are not only going to celebrate Santa , but we will also show what gifts are — they are not just material things , but the voice of the heart . “
As the night deepened , the adults of the village also gathered . They smiled seeing the enthusiasm and happiness of the children . Everyone together resolved to keep the tradition of the village alive . It was wonderful that the children were including the adults in their happiness .
During this time , some special dishes were prepared in the village . The women were smiling at the children as they cooked delicious food together . Some made room for games like carrom and ludo , while others prepared sweets for their kids .
Rahul and his friends decided that they would each place their gifts under a big tree , which was the center of the entire village . Then , they all hurried there , decorating their gifts . They were happy to see the gifts , but more than that , they were feeling the love that came out of their hearts and was transformed into their artistry .
When everything was ready , all the children of the village gathered together and started exchanging the gifts they had made with each other . There were resounding laughter , happiness and resounding songs making the atmosphere more magical .
Rahul saw that every child was not only accepting the gifts , but also feeling the emotions behind those gifts . He felt that the magic of this night was in the collective happiness they had created together .
Finally , when everyone had distributed their gifts and rejoiced , Rahul addressed his friends once again . She said , ” Remember , the real gift is what we give to each other from the heart . It is the magic of our hearts that will spread with each gift . “
In this way , Christmas Eve was celebrated as a new celebration in the village . Everyone celebrated Santa together , and that magic was not limited to just one night , but continued to beat in the heart of every member of the village .
In the next chapter , we will see how this celebration further strengthens the unity of the village and how everyone together takes a new step .
Chapter 8 : From Doubt to Faith
On Christmas night , when the celebrations were over , there was certainly a new energy and unity in the village . Children happily exchanged gifts , and adults too participated in the celebration .
But now , Rahul had another goal in mind — to tell the story of Santa to everyone in the village and instill faith in their hearts .
In the morning , Rahul called a meeting at the village square . He gathered the children and said , ” Today we have to tell the story of Santa together . This story teaches us how important love , unity and trust are . “
Some adults were sitting in the village watching him , but some of them looked at each other suspiciously . ” Is this just a kids thing ? “ said an elderly man . ” Are there really people who come for good without selfishness ? “
Rahul looked at all those admiring eyes and spoke with great confidence , ” Santa is not just a name . He is a symbol of that feeling within us , which reminds us of what we can do for others . We ourselves . “ Dekh liya ki jab hum dil se hoker khushiyan manate hain , to wah asli jaadu hai .
All the children were impressed by Rahul ‘s words . They decided to stretch their imaginations . One child said , ” I felt that moment when I gave a gift to my friend . His happiness became our happiness . That is the magic of Santa ! “
Slowly the adults of the opposite community started listening to Rahul . Their suspicions started to diminish . They saw the celebrations of the children in the village , which were not just about the gifts but about friendship and love . A feeling of unity started to spread in the village .
” We have to take this gift further . We should give gifts to each other not only for one day , but every day through our love and goodness , ” Rahul added .
This idea ignited a spark in the hearts of the adults in the village as well . They were now being inspired by the examples of their young children . Slowly , a new awareness began to spread in the village that true happiness resides in unity and love .
All the children got together and started the day together with their gifts . Rahul proposed that they would also give gifts to the village elders . ” Hum sabhi ko saath milan chalana hoga hoga , agar hum han hain ki yah jadoo hama saathi bane hamara sathi ,” Isaye said.
This new spirit in the village began to fill everyone with new energy . The adults , along with their children , decided to gift happiness not only to themselves but also to each other . They decided to come together and work for the betterment of their community by helping the village .
As the day rose , various activities started in the village . People went to each other ‘s homes , offered help , and surprised each other with small gifts . It became a new festival , where everyone was proving their love and goodwill towards each other .
Rahul saw that the story of Santa did not remain just a story but became a symbol of a lasting change in the hearts of the village . This journey of doubt was moving towards faith and unity .
In the next chapter we will see how the people of the village move forward with new resolve and make their village even better .
Chapter 9: The Importance of Love and Affection
As the villagers were getting ready to welcome a new morning , a new wave of excitement and joy was running through their hearts . Under Rahul ‘s leadership , everyone understood that Santa ‘s gifts were not just material things , but symbols of love , affection and cooperation towards each other . Each gift carried a message — ” We are all one , and we have to take care of each other . “
The villagers gathered together and resolved to adopt this new teaching . ” We should help each other every day , whether it is small or big tasks . It is our responsibility to take care of the happiness of our neighbors , ” the elders said .
Inspiring everyone , Rahul said , ” We want our village to become not only a center of happiness and celebration , but truly a place where everyone can live with love and cooperation . Come , let ‘s achieve this goal together . “ Try to get it . “
This idea spread a new awakening in the village . Children , adults and elders started working together in small groups . Some people started cleaning the streets of the village , while others decided to plant a garden together . They wanted every corner of their village to be green and beautiful .
Helping with the process was not limited to work . The villagers decided to do something special for each other . This time , gifts were exchanged not only on the festival , but in the joy of every day . One woman knitted a warm sweater for her neighbor ‘s mother , while a young child bought a book for her friend with her savings . These little acts added to the love .
After a week of hard work , the changes in the village were clearly visible . The streets were sparkling , and colorful flowers were blooming in the new garden . The atmosphere of the village had also become more positive than before . Everyone was sharing happiness with each other .
One day , all the villagers gathered and decided that they would celebrate ‘ Sneh Divas ‘ one day every month . On this day , everyone will get together and do something special for each other — whether it ’s cooking a meal or sharing their experiences . This will not only increase unity but also create an atmosphere of love and affection in the village .
As this new idea started spreading , a wonderful change came in the village . Children came forward and started giving new ideas to help each other . The elderly started telling stories together and the youth took the responsibility of running the social activities of the village .
Just like this , a new morning of affection and cooperation dawned in the village . Everyone cared for each other and shared love . The true meaning of Santa ‘s gifts was now deeply embedded in everyone ‘s lives . This festive morning of faith , affection , and unity brought a new direction to the village .
termination :

– Rahul ‘s faith is now strong and every year he teaches children how to share love and affection .
