About this book

"Santa Claus Gets His Wish: A Christmas Play in One Act For Young Children" by Fisher is a whimsical children's play written in the early 20th century. This charming theatrical piece captures the spirit of Christmas through the eyes of Santa Claus and his helpers. The story takes place on Christmas Eve, exploring themes of childhood wonder, dreams, and the joys of the holiday season. The play unfolds in Santa Claus's home as he interacts with various characters, including imps, the Sand-Man, and a little girl who is eager to see him. Throughout the dialogue, Santa seeks to understand what children dream about during Christmas time. Amidst playful banter and a lighthearted tone, the character of the little girl expresses her affection for Santa, reminding him of his significance in their lives. The play culminates in a heartwarming realization that children's love for Santa surpasses even their fleeting delight in treats like lollipops and ice-cream cones, emphasizing the importance of his enduring presence in their dreams and holiday traditions.
