Zoe and her mother had lived in a small cottage. Christmas was so close. Zoe wished she could get a new dress with frills and lace. But Zoe did not want to ask her mom for a new dress. She knew how hard her mom worked to make both ends meet. Maybe she could make a wish or maybe Santa Claus would come. The days passed. Soon it was Christmas Eve. Zoe went to bed with a heavy heart. She knew that there would be no gifts for her. Zoe slowly drifted off to sleep. In the morning, she was surprised to see a beautiful packet tied with a red ribbon. Zoe excitedly opened the package. It was a pretty white frock with fluffy frills and attractive lace. She touched the material. It was soft and silky. Zoe could not believe her eyes. After all, Santa Claus had heard her and sent her the lovely frock.
