Susie the Tiny Angel

She was the smallest of all the angels although all the other angels were at  least five feet tall,  Susie the angel was no larger than a Barbie doll. She was by far the cutest of all the Angels but little Susie was a little sad this Christmas Season. She had wings that's for sure, so she could reach the top of Christmas trees but the toppers were always too heavy which made Susie sad. She spoke to the other Angels about it of course they all offered to help her. Susie explained she was thankful but she really wanted to do it on her own. That's when it happened Susie  right then and there became the first Angel to shed a tear. She had turned so no one saw,  but Susie felt badly. The next day while alone Susie thought of her troubles and it happened again, except this time it was many tears. "Wait" Susie thought "my tears sparkle". So she thought more about her sadness. More and more tears flowed. That is when Susie realized this was all meant to be. The next morning Susie visited her favorite homes as she flew over the trees and spread her tears. From that day on their were changes. All Christmas trees would sparkle with  the glitter of Susie's magic. Susie wasn't sad at all she wasn't even crying. She had been picked to be the Christmas Angel. The one that made all trees sparkle. Now Susie no longer worried about placing toppers. To honor Susie changes were made to Christmas trees. They were topped with a star that resembled her tears or a small Angel just like Suzie, one that made the whole tree glitter. 02~12~2014 Sponsor: Carol Eastman Contest Name: Children's Christmas or Holiday Tale
