   Here again it was – my favorite day of the entire year! Christmas morning had dawned bright and glorious, and the magic of the celebration of salvation filled my heart. I knew; I just knew that today would be the day my greatest wish came true. Under the glittering tree, my heart’s desire was waiting for me, I was sure.

   I really had everything a girl could want: a pink, princess bedroom, a supportive, overprotective dear mother, three partners in crime for brothers, the sweetest friends ever, and a continually deepening relationship with my Jesus.

   BUT. There was one thing I’d never had. I dreamed about it every night; thought about it – longed for it all day…every day.

   I wanted to go to Narnia.

   I tiptoed out into the family room…quickly scanned the pretty, sparkling presents under the tree…my heart started to sink…none of these could possibly be…

   I crept closer…knelt to peer under the Christmas tree…my excited anticipation quickly faded. None of these packages held my dream. I slowly, dejectedly stood up.

   And found myself in a forest.

   In Narnia!
