In her fairy tale “Christmas Wishes,” Louise Chollet follows three princes as each presents one wish to Santa Claus. However, Chollet shows that getting everything one wishes isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be.
Wishes Made
It’s Christmas Day. King Nutcracker and everyone else in the castle have been preparing for the arrival of Santa Claus for weeks. Santa promised to grant one wish for each of the king’s three sons; such an opportunity can’t be passed by and must be celebrated with all due ceremony.Despite all the jolly, holly-filled preparations for his coming, Santa arrives unnoticed and looking rather unhappy. He tells the princes that he'd rather shut them up in an iceberg than give them each a wish, but he can’t go back on his promise.
