Daisy
I asked Santa for a baby brother or sister. He told me that he had no control over that, but he believes that if I was very good that my wish would come true. He was right about that and my wish did come true. On Christmas morning my parents gave me a baby sister and a baby brother. They brought them home from the hospital and I saw them the next day. Theodore Raymond and Violet Rose Grey were given up for adoption by a very young mother. Mom and dad had signed up to adopt before they got married, they did it when dad started the adoption process for me. The girl was allowed to choose the adoptive parents she chose mom and dad and they decided to surprise me on Christmas. Since the twins had born two days before Christmas. They had hidden them with Gail and Jason and they brought them in when gifts were being unwrapped. I loved them immediately and they are a sort of mixture of mom and dad. Maybe I am just seeing them that way. So I have my wish.
Anastasia
Daisy was so proud of her new siblings that she took a lot of selfies with them. Her latest thing, but she can't post them on line. She got her wish from Santa. Well we made it seem like she did. Jason and Gail helped us out a great deal with that. Christian and I heard her wish to Santa and we were both very sad that it wasn't going to happen and the day after she told Santa the young mother chose us to be her twins parents. Then she had the twins two days before Christmas and they were released on Christmas Eve. So we signed all the paperwork and dad kept Daisy busy while we finished the nursery and we had everything for the babies stocked while dad kept Daisy wrapping gifts. Gail and Jason were very tired when they brought the babies over. We let them go back to bed. It was such a sweet sight seeing Daisy's eyes light up as we brought the babies out.
Christian
We were blessed with a couple of miracles and after Daisy told Santa her wish for Christmas. The man who played him said something that let her have hope but also telling her that he had control over it. It was well thought out. I had to give it to him and approached him to play Santa every year at GEH and for the hospital mom works for and the homeless center along with the Coping Together Christmas Party. He had to turn at least one of those things down because a friend of his had that job and he needed the money. I decided to hire his friend for other jobs and gave them both a big bonus for last minute jobs. Everyone was watching Daisys reaction to her siblings. Everyone joined us for Christmas Day. Elliott and Kate are getting married in January on New Year's Day. They have asked Ray to use his place for the wedding ceremony and reception. Ray had rules for them to follow and they were too many of them, so the found a different place. Ethan and Mia want a small wedding and without her annoying friends. Apparently they don't like Anastasia or Kate and think they still have a shot at us. Daisy had some choice words with them and they found out just how smart she was and just how protected she is. Three were subdued and told them if they tried to hit an eight year old again they would be behind bars. They were also warned that Daisy knew self defense and could hurt them seriously.
Ray
Things are looking good and I invited a friend to Christmas Day, a very good friend. Lisa Howard and I have been seeing each other since Daisys eighth birthday party. Daisy introduced us. We are getting married at the courthouse without all the frills. No need for all the planning and spending all that money at our age. If she wanted a wedding with all the frills we would do it, but she doesn't want it.
Lisa
Daisy did her matchmaking on me and Ray, her grandfather. She is a very good person and very perceptive. Now I am part of this family and soon to be married at the courthouse. I don't have any family left, so having a big wedding would remind me of that. I feel very comfortable with all the family members. But I had a soft spot for Daisy and she's like a granddaughter to me already.

I brought my wife Elizabeth with me, we went to Vegas and got married and we just wanted to get it over and we did. I am doing illustrations full time and that's how we met. It was love at first sight. I do some projects for dad still though. Her mom has came as well, she is the real reason we married Vegas on the QT. I think she had a thing for dad and dad has someone.

Today couldn't get any better than this. Three grandchildren and a happy family. A happy healthy family. A wonderful Christmas and I think the magic of Christmas has been noted today when Daisy got her wish from Santa. I was told about Christian's constant dreams about a young girls tears and the Santa told her couldn't make her wish come true and he never knew that wish and he tried to get help to stop dreaming about the sad dreams. Anastasia turned out to be that very child. Fate is fickle and at times show you what's ahead of you or who.

If I had not apologized for my poor attitude and change it we would not have our three grandchildren. It is something I changed. Daisy didn't like me at first but has changed her mind about me and loves me for who I am though. Whatever the circumstances of her birth she is a miracle and I almost missed out on knowing that.
Elliott
I can't wait to have children with Kate even though she's unable to cook and her cleaning skills are horrible. I hired staff when she moved in with me. She told me only middle aged women or men. Lol today was a great day for all the families and Daisy has the biggest smile on her face and her faith and one is a bright light shining through all the bad that has happened.
Kate
The twins were a surprise for all of us. Daisy has not stopped smiling and is proud of her siblings. She checks on them regularly. Elliott definitely wants children, luckily for him he has hired staff to assure our home stays the neat home he took me to after Daisy's seventh birthday party. He never stopped seeing me and he never looked at another woman. Hopefully next Christmas we will have our own bundle of joy. Mom and dad had a trip planned and couldn't make it today. The wedding planning was getting too much for them. Between mine and Ethan's wedding mom lost it.
Ethan
Today I am relaxing and not thinking about weddings and flowers or anything else. Two new family members have arrived on Christmas Day if all days. It's a great thing. Daisy wished for siblings and she got them. In the eyes of children.
Mia
The wedding is ready to be held and everything is in place. I play with the twins and Daisy. This day is about children and baby Jesus. Mostly Jesus though. I watch everyone celebrating the day and enjoying being with each other and photos are being shown sent and taken. Soon food will be served and sports will be watched. The cleanup is next. Luckily in this family all help in the cleanup.
The End hope you liked this short story.
