Everyone in Tralee, was still busy preparing for the holiday season. Shane had already finished decorating the tree and wrapping presents for Jack, Sean & Dylan. That is why Shane was selected to have an exciting Christmas adventure. Pg.2 One special night Shane was lying in bed thinking about Christmas. Suddenly, he heard a voice outside his window.  "Shane, please come to the North Pole with me. Santa Claus has a big problem and only you can help," pleaded a reindeer. In amazement Shane replied, "Wow! You must be one of Santa's reindeer. Of course, I would be happy to go to the North Pole to help Santa Claus." Pg.3 So Shane jumped into Santa's sleigh and off they flew through the beautiful moonlit sky. "Reindeer, what are those buildings below us?" questioned Shane. "That's the North Pole where Santa lives and makes toys for all the good children. Hold on tight, we're landing!" replied the Reindeer. Silently, they glided to a stop near Santa's workshop. Pg.4 Let's have a snack in Mrs. Claus' kitchen and then I'll show you around," said the Reindeer. "Mmm..! The biscuits smell delicious," Shane said with a smile. Cheerfully, Mrs. Claus remarked, "I make sweets and biscuits in every colour of the rainbow. Here is a special treat just for you, Shane. Pg.5 The Reindeer announced, "That was a perfect snack, Shane. Now let's visit Santa's toy workshop. Shane saw a huge robot-like machine building different kinds of toys. The Reindeer said, Santa knows which boys and girls have been good during the year and the toy each child wants most for Christmas." Pg.6 Shane peeked into the next room and exclaimed, "I've never seen so many pretty dolls and stuffed animals! I wish Jack, Sean & Dylan could see this, too." The Reindeer said with confidence, "Santa's elves make every kind of toy you can imagine." The Reindeer and Shane left the doll room and hurried along to visit Santa. Pg.7 "Ho! Ho! Ho!" welcomed Santa. "You arrived just in time. I need your help, Shane. Let me tell you about my problem. My reindeer and sleigh are ready to deliver presents to all the good boys and girls on Christmas Eve. But, I have been so busy that I did not do the most important thing of all. Pg.8 "What is the most important thing of all, Santa?" Shane asked eagerly. Santa continued, " I haven't had time to make the special Christmas WISH. This WISH puts love into people's hearts and makes my reindeer want to fly. So, you see how important the WISH is. Would you please make the Christmas WISH for everyone?" Santa pleaded. Pg.9 Shane promised Santa, "I will gladly make the WISH." Then, he remembered the nicest things about Christmas such as love, happiness and kindness. Then ... POOF, out popped the WISH, glowing brightly like a star. Santa said gratefully, "That was the perfect WISH Shane. I'll put the WISH in this beautiful box for safe keeping until Christmas Eve." Pg.10 By the bright moonlight, Santa waved good-bye and said, "Thanks to you, Shane, everyone will have a Merry Christmas. Hop aboard my sleigh and my reinder will fly you back to Tralee." As the North Pole disappeared out of sight, Shane thought, "I can't wait to tell Jack, Sean & Dylan about my wonderful Christmas adventure."
