Son: Dad, can I ask you something?
Page 2: [Picture: The father, sitting in an armchair across from his son, wearing a warm smile and an ugly Christmas sweater]
Father: Of course, champ. What's on your mind?
Son: Well, is Santa Claus real? I’m old enough to know. Level with me.
Page 3: [Picture: The father looks thoughtful, considering his response.]
Father: Hmm, that's a big question. And yes I agree, you are old enough to know. Are you sure you're ready for the answer?
Son: Yes, I think so. I really want to know.
Page 4: [Picture: The father leans forward, his expression serious.]
Father: Alright, but remember, once you know, you can't un-know. The truth is a powerful thing. Are you absolutely sure you want to know?
Son: Yes, Dad, I'm sure.
Page 5: [Picture: The father hesitates, then nods.]
Father: Okay, here's the truth. Yes, Santa Claus is real, but not in the way you might think.
Son: Huh? What do you mean?
Page 6: [Picture: The father explains, gesturing with his hands.]
Father: Santa Claus isn't just one person in a red suit with Reindeer. He's an idea—a spirit of giving and kindness that lives in all of us. We tell the little ones that because the idea is too complicated for them to understand.
Son: Really?
Page 7: [Picture: The father nods, a gentle smile on his face.]
Father: Absolutely. Remember all those presents under the tree each year? Well, your mother and I bought them. You see, it wasn't about getting thanks. It was about giving joy. Making you happy, makes us happy
Son: Oh!
Page 8: [Picture: The father and son share a warm moment, understanding passing between them.]
Father: And being Santa Claus means more than just giving presents. It means helping others, even when they don't know it's you.
Son: I get it now.
Page 9: [Picture: The father claps his son on the back.]
Father: Good! And now that you know the secret, you're part of it too.
Son: Really?
Page 10: [Picture: The father nods, looking proud.]
Father: Absolutely. You can also help choose gifts for your siblings. Once you understand how powerful the gift of giving is, you can start to look for chances to help people all year round, not just at Christmas.
Son: I can do that!
Page 11: [Picture: The father and son stand, embracing.]
Father: I'm proud of you, son. Remember, being Santa Claus isn't about getting credit—it's about spreading love and kindness wherever you go
Son: Thanks, Dad. I'll do my best.
Father: That’s all I’ll ever ask of you. Your best. And remember, you , along with all the other grownups must help us all guard the secret !
Page 12: [Picture: The father and son smile at each other, surrounded by the glow of the Christmas tree.]
Narrator: And so, with a newfound understanding of the true spirit of Santa Claus, the father and son set out to make the world a brighter, happier place—one act of kindness at a time.
