Happy holidays.
This is a very special Christmas Eve episode of gift biz
unwrapped from me to you Was the night before Christmas when
all through the store employees were anxiously watching the door.
Products sat neatly on the shelves with care in hopes that
a customer soon would be there.
The shopkeeper was nestled all snug in her chair while she
envisioned wrapping up gifts with flair.
The products were perfect,
the prices were right,
but would they still all be there when she locked up
for the night?
In Amanda's mind,
there arose such a clatter.
Nobody's coming in.
What is the matter?
People must not like the things that I make.
I should have known this business was a mistake.
Glancing out the window scene,
fresh fallen snow.
She watched shoppers bustling to and fro when what?
To her wandering eyes did appear but a miniature sleigh and
eight tiny reindeer with a little old driver so lively and
quick. New in a moment it must be st Nick,
not down through the chimney,
but right through the door.
He exclaimed,
ho, ho,
ho. Let's fix up this store.
Look at the colors,
the quality,
the style.
We must spread word of your wares across miles.
Why didn't you tell people of the products you make?
I was scared that they would think me of fake.
Your talent is clear and creations unique with artistry and style
that so many seek now Dasher,
now dancer,
now Prancer and Vixen on comet,
on Cupid,
on Donner and Blitzen to the top of the hillside.
All residents must know of Amanda's treasures,
all boxed up and bowed,
and then in a twinkling,
she heard on the roof the prancing and Pauline of each
little hoof up,
up. In a way,
the reindeer all flew with a message of holiday gifts,
shiny and new.
Within minutes it happened.
The door flew open wide,
a snowy Russia,
the air blue customers inside excitement built up as they discovered
the wares.
One five,
seven gifts were purchased with care.
Was it seconds or minutes that the gifts were all sold?
Customers smiled while juggling packages of red,
green, and gold.
Which designs did you get?
Oh, I loved that one too.
I need to come back and get another in blue.
Amanda's eyes twinkled she felt light hearted and Mary people loved
her creations.
Even that shade of raspberry st Nick's cheeks were like roses.
His eyes held a twinkle.
Success was right in front of you except for one little
wrinkle. You can't stay inside and be timid or meek.
If growing your business is something you seek,
your artistry is spectacular.
It's much more than fine.
Be proud,
be confident.
It gets easier in time as the clock timed the hour
and the day was now through.
Amanda sat in amazement of what she now knew.
Trusting her skill and being herself creates a gift of its
own like a personal elf.
Customers will appear as they're meant to be the right ones
for her who would help her succeed.
St Nick's eyes gave a twinkle and with a round little
belly, he laughed at the acknowledgement like a bowl full of
jelly. He spoke no more words,
but went straight to his work and filled all the stockings.
Then turned with a jerk.
Your presence this year are reminders for you of the dreams
you've created that you can make true.
She knew what he meant,
and on his cheek gave a kiss.
His message was clear and no point was missed.
Inside she felt courage and anticipation.
Nothing would stop her.
Now from creation,
he sprang to the roof and jumped into the sleigh.
He'd given Amanda a priceless gift.
This day.
They exclaimed together as he drove out of sight.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
