Waggy & the Gift of ChristmasBy Pemba UmojaSo when Giuseppe's father came to America, he brought a sack full of chestnut seeds.Waggy was a small, very cute brown and white dog, although some people called her white and brown. She shook so much it was hard to tell if her tail that was wagging her body, or if her body was wagging her tail. That's why Papa Giuseppe called her Waggy. Waggy was a very special dog. And she was very excited for her very, very first Christmas.Waggy's owner was quite special too, if not a little peculiar. His name was Papa Giuseppe, and he was 85 years old. Papa Giuseppe loved to tell stories. "When I was younger, I came from Italy with nothing more than a pocket full of chestnut seeds. I worked in a belt buckle factory until I earned enough money to buy a small plot of land. Then I became a chestnut farmer. Just like my father and his father's father."During the winter, Papa Giuseppe would push his small chestnut cart all the way down Montgomery Street to the center of Raleigh to sell his roasted chestnuts. Waggy would walk along with him. Papa Giuseppe could not walk very fast, and Waggy did more wiggling than walking. She was always so excited. This pair made for a very unusual sight. But the chestnuts—you could smell them from a mile away.In Westtown, there lived a little eight-year-old girl who did not like winter very much. In fact, she despised winter. Her name was Nancy Prichard.The first time Papa Giuseppe met Nancy, she had a cold winter grimace. And she was shivering almost as much as Waggy was wiggling. Papa Giuseppe remembers the first time that he met Nancy very clearly. He was in his regular spot on the corner of St. James and Appleton—just near the entrance of Dillon's department store. Papa Giuseppe saw Nancy come out of the entrance to Dillon’s, holding her mom's hand. He could also see the trail of chestnut smoke spilling with a savory aroma trailing through the air and magically enshrouding Nancy's head in a warm cloud.The first thing that Papa Giuseppe noticed was Nancy's transformation. Her winter grimace burst into a winter grin. Her teeth shone bright in the smile. She even seemed to let out the slightest giggle that could mist her breath. Nancy's mom turned to her in total shock. It wasn't Nancy's first winter grin that afternoon or that day or even that month or year. It was Nancy's first winter grin ever!And despite the fact that Nancy's mom was walking Nancy to the left side, Nancy started to pull her mom to the right, following that magical strand of savory, aroma-filled smoke right to Papa Giuseppe’s cart."What's this?" asked Nancy, rather mechanically, as if she had become hypnotized.Papa Giuseppe let out a smile and, in his broken English, explained, "Why, they are chestnuts, my dear. Haven’t you ever had one?" And with that, he filled a small bag full of them and handed them to her. "Merry Christmas," he said. "The first bag is on me."When the toasty bag touched Nancy's cold hands, they immediately warmed. She squeezed the chestnuts firmly and smiled again."They are for eating, not squeezing!" laughed Papa Giuseppe."But they're so warm.""They are even tastier by the tongue than the touch," laughed Papa Giuseppe. "But you have to peel them. Just peel back the skin like this," he demonstrated, "and pop it in your mouth."And pop it in her mouth is what Nancy did. It was a slow chew, and as she chewed, her eyes rolled. It was like she thought her first roasted chestnut would be her last. She just didn't want to swallow."Don't worry," laughed Papa Giuseppe. "You have a whole bag full—and I've got a whole cart full in case your bag runs out. I come here every Sunday from 11 to 3 PM."Nancy's mom shared a quizzical smile at Papa Giuseppe. She just didn't know what to make of this, but she was sure glad to see Nancy this happy on a cold, blustery winter day."I am sure we will be back," said Nancy's mom. "And by the way, can I have a bag?"Papa Giuseppe watched Nancy and her mom walk away—a little slower than normal—as they peeled and tasted the warm, roasted chestnuts. It was as if a light filled their hearts and their eyes with every single bite.
Chapter 2Nancy decided to come back—not just every week, but every day. She found out that Papa Giuseppe passed through the Metro on E Street, the same stop she and her mom used on the way to school. Papa Giuseppe loved seeing Nancy.One day, Papa Giuseppe arrived with the cutest dog Nancy had ever seen. It was hard to tell whether the dog wagged its tail or the tail wagged the dog—his whole body seemed to wag! “His name is Waggy,” chuckled Papa Giuseppe. “He likes chestnuts too.”“Does he ever stop wagging?” Nancy asked.“No,” said Papa Giuseppe. “I don't think he’ll ever stop wagging around you, dear. He likes you too much!”Every time Nancy saw Papa Giuseppe, he would let her take Waggy for a stroll. Now she had the best of both worlds—warm chestnuts and Waggy. Winter wasn’t so bad after all.She was growing fond of Papa Giuseppe too. He would share stories of the old country—of Italy. He told her how his parents once sent him to a hilltop monastery to become a priest when he was 16. But one day, he climbed out of the window and decided to come to America.Nancy thought Papa Giuseppe was brave, and funny, and maybe a little crazy too! It wasn’t just the chestnuts or Waggy that Nancy loved. It was Papa Giuseppe himself.Nancy didn’t have any grandparents. Papa Giuseppe was the closest thing she knew. If he wasn’t Papa Giuseppe, she thought, he might have been Santa Claus. But probably one who eats too many chestnuts.
Chapter 3Spring and summer came and went. Nancy was actually looking forward to winter. She hadn’t eaten chestnuts since last year, but more than that, she missed Papa Giuseppe—and Waggy too.She remembered asking Papa Giuseppe when he would return.“The day after Thanksgiving,” he had exclaimed. “Black Friday! The most popular shopping day of the year! That’s when Waggy and I will make our grand return.”On Thanksgiving Day, Nancy was already thinking about Papa Giuseppe, Waggy, and those delicious chestnuts. “I guess winter isn’t so bad,” Nancy declared to her mom.Nancy and her mom got an early start. Her mom had a Black Friday agenda, and they planned to hit the corner of Appleton Street near Dillon’s just before noon. Papa Giuseppe was sure to be there.But when they arrived, Papa Giuseppe was nowhere in sight.“Where is he?” Nancy cried.“Let’s shop, then check afterward,” suggested her mom.“No!” protested Nancy. “I’m not going anywhere until I see him.”They decided to wait.About ten minutes later, a man appeared, pushing a chestnut cart. There was a small, spotted dog—brown and white or white and brown—it was hard to tell. And the tail? Still wagging, as always. It was definitely Waggy.But the man… he didn’t look like Papa Giuseppe. He was walking slowly. He didn’t have the same spark in his step. He was hunched over, leaning on the cart. That couldn’t be Papa Giuseppe.But as the man came closer, Nancy saw a wide smile break across his face—it was Papa Giuseppe, after all.But what had happened to him?Nancy ran to Papa Giuseppe and gave him a big hug. Then she knelt and wrapped her arms around Waggy, squeezing him like it might be the last time.“I missed you so much!” Papa Giuseppe exclaimed. “I’ve been waiting to see you since last winter.”“You did? Really?” cried Nancy. “I missed you too!”Then Nancy’s smile turned serious. “But… what happened? You’re not walking the same. Are you okay?”“Well,” said Papa Giuseppe, “my mind is just fine. But my body is getting older—faster than I can keep up with. I’m going to be 86 in a few weeks.”“When’s your birthday?” asked Nancy.“December 19,” replied Papa Giuseppe.“See?” said Nancy’s mom, laughing. “You’re a Christmas baby!”“Not quite,” chuckled Papa Giuseppe, “but everyone says I look like Santa Claus.”“Well, we want to celebrate with you and Waggy on your birthday,” Nancy declared. “We won’t have it any other way.”Papa Giuseppe smiled again, and his face turned a little red—just like Santa Claus. He didn’t know what to say.“So it’s decided,” said Nancy. “December 19. We’ll be here at 11 AM before you start your day.”“That’s the deal,” laughed Papa Giuseppe. “Let’s celebrate with some chestnuts!”And he pulled out the biggest chestnuts Nancy had ever seen.“I’ve been saving these special ones just for you.”Nancy’s eyes rolled in delight. “Winter is the best season of all,” she thought.Waggy looked up at her. He most definitely agreed.
Chapter 4The days passed, and Nancy and her mom visited with Papa Giuseppe a few more times before his big day—December 19.Nancy wanted to make a healthier cake for the celebration. She decided on carrot cake and only used half the sugar the recipe called for. “Papa Giuseppe has to watch his diet if he’s going to live another 85 years,” she joked.“His belly’s even bigger than it was last year!” Nancy added.“You know,” her mom replied gently, “Papa Giuseppe isn’t going to live forever—no matter how much sugar you take out.”“That’s true, Mom. But… you never can tell.”When the special day arrived, Nancy and her mom put on their Sunday best. They brought Papa Giuseppe a gift—thick leather gloves to keep his hands warm while he roasted chestnuts. His old gloves had holes in them, and even his pinky finger stuck out of one.To their surprise, Papa Giuseppe was already waiting for them when they arrived. He had even tried to tidy up, wearing a nice sweater—but it still had nearly as many holes as his gloves!They decided to go to a little pasta place called Angelo’s, where they could keep an eye on Papa Giuseppe’s cart and Waggy from the window.“This is one of the happiest days of my life,” Papa Giuseppe said, “with two of my favorite people in the whole world.”Nancy and her mom smiled.After a gigantic bowl of pasta, the waitress brought out the carrot cake.“There wasn’t room for 85 candles,” explained Nancy, “so we put eight and cut the last one in half!”Papa Giuseppe stared at the glowing candles. Their light reflected in his eyes, and a tear rolled down his cheek. Then he closed his eyes, paused, took a very long breath—and blew out the tiny eight-and-a-half candles.Nancy got to cut the cake, and to Papa Giuseppe’s surprise, she gave him only a small piece.“Don’t worry, Papa Giuseppe,” she said. “I’ll give you another one if you want.”Outside, Waggy peered into the window and barked, hoping they had saved him a piece too.
Chapter 5It was time to say goodbye.Papa Giuseppe loved his new gloves. He put them on right away and gave Nancy and her mom a warm paper bag full of chestnuts for the trip home. Everyone was happy—except Waggy. He wanted to spend more time with Nancy, and nobody had saved him a piece of carrot cake.The weekend before Christmas, Nancy and her mom prepared to see Papa Giuseppe again. They wanted to bring him a Christmas gift.Nancy's mom had been knitting a sweater all week—a thick, cozy one, just for him.When they turned the corner of Charleston and Prospect, Papa Giuseppe was nowhere in sight.They asked a policeman, “Have you seen the old man who sells chestnuts?”“The old guy? The chestnut peddler?” he replied. “Haven’t seen him for a few days.”Nancy and her mom wanted to call him, but they didn’t have his number. They didn’t even know his address.“Let’s come back on Christmas Eve,” Nancy said, “right before lunch, when he usually arrives.”That afternoon, they returned to the corner. Still no sign of Papa Giuseppe.“Let’s go,” said Nancy’s mom. “It’s cold.”“No,” said Nancy. “I’m not leaving until Papa Giuseppe gets here.”Just then, a small brown and white—or white and brown—spotted dog appeared. It was hard to tell whether the tail was wagging the dog or the dog was wagging the tail. But it was definitely Waggy.Even so, Waggy seemed to be wagging a little less than usual.Nancy’s heart sank. She knew something was wrong—terribly wrong.Waggy walked up to the spot where Papa Giuseppe always stood, on the corner of Montgomery and Appleton, right in front of Dillon’s. Nancy stood in the same spot, hugging Waggy.No. It couldn’t be true.But she could see it in Waggy’s eyes.Papa Giuseppe wouldn’t be coming to sell chestnuts again.Everyone else walked in and out of the store. Cars roared by, horns beeping. Nobody seemed to notice that Papa Giuseppe wasn’t there. Nobody seemed to care.Nancy and her mom hugged Waggy, and they stayed there for a long time.Just around the time Papa Giuseppe usually returned from his break, Waggy got up and started walking slowly down the street.Nancy and her mom looked at each other.“We’re going to follow him,” Nancy said.
Chapter 6They followed Waggy all the way down Walcott Street.“How could Papa Giuseppe ever walk this far?” Nancy wondered aloud.They turned right at the cemetery on Pine Street and walked two more blocks.A weathered wooden sign came into view. Faded silver letters read: Bishop’s Nursing Home.The building was made of old stone. Christmas candles flickered in the windows, and a small wreath hung on the door, decorated with a pinecone or two.Waggy padded up to the front steps and let out a soft bark.An older woman dressed in a nun’s outfit opened the door. She looked down at Waggy, shook her head, and seemed to scold him gently.Nancy and her mom watched from across the street, hiding behind the thick trunk of a snow-dusted oak.“What should we do?” Nancy whispered. “I’m scared. What if something happened to Papa Giuseppe?”Nancy’s mom placed a comforting hand on her daughter’s shoulder, unsure herself.“We’ve come this far,” said Nancy, suddenly summoning her courage. “We can’t stop now.”They walked slowly to the front door. The knocker was shaped like an elk’s head. Nancy lifted it and knocked three times.“Who is it?” called a voice from inside, tinged with both kindness and caution.“It’s Nancy—and my mom,” she said. “We saw Waggy come here. We’re looking for Papa Giuseppe.”The door opened.It wasn’t the nun.It was a small woman with spectacles and a funny red apron.“Well, come on in,” she said with a smile. “Have I got a tale to tell you.”
Chapter 7“Papa Giuseppe is a peculiar man,” the woman began as she led them inside.She had rosy cheeks—just like Papa Giuseppe—and spectacles that drooped down on her nose.“Have a seat,” she said warmly.They entered a large drawing room. A few elderly people sat quietly at the far end on cozy couches. Nancy and her mom took a seat near a large fireplace with a stone mantle. Dozens of nutcrackers lined the mantle, surrounded by evergreen trimmings.“Can I get you some hot chocolate?” the woman asked.“Yes, please,” said Nancy.“I’d love a cup too,” added her mom.While they waited, Nancy noticed several old paintings hanging on the walls. She wandered over for a closer look.“Hey, Mom,” she called. “Here’s one that looks just like Papa Giuseppe!”Her mom stepped closer and peered at the painting.“No, honey,” she said. “That painting is dated 1805. It’s over two hundred years old. There’s no way that could be Papa Giuseppe.”“But look!” Nancy pointed. “Some of these others look like the lady in the red apron!”Just then, the woman returned, carrying two mugs of hot chocolate on a tray.“Oh, those paintings,” she said with a laugh. “They’ve been here for years. I hardly notice them anymore. I’ve only been working here for the last twenty-five.”“Only?” Nancy’s mom echoed, surprised. “That seems like a long time.”“It’s all relative,” the woman replied. “The older you get, the shorter twenty-five years feels.”Then she turned to Nancy and smiled over her spectacles. “And you, my sweet child—twenty-five years must feel like forever.”“Where is Papa Giuseppe?” Nancy blurted, growing anxious. “Is he okay?”“Oh dear, don’t worry,” the woman said gently. “Everyone around here calls him Papa. He just went away, as he always does this time of year.”Nancy’s eyes filled with tears. “I thought something happened to him…”“No, sweetheart,” the woman said kindly. “He’s fine. He’s getting up there in age, sure—but he still has too much work to do. Papa’s just fine.”“But we expected to see him today, in front of Dillon’s. Waggy was there without him.”“Waggy,” the woman chuckled, “is so stuck in his routine, he’ll go to that corner every day whether Papa is there or not.”She leaned in closer.“And besides… with children like you in his life, Papa is going to stick around as long as he possibly can. I promise.”“Does that mean forever?” asked Nancy softly.“Well, that’s a big word,” the woman said. “Forever means different things to different people. For some, it’s as long as they live. For others, it really means forever.”She reached out and gently took Nancy’s hand.“I’m sure Papa will stay as long as he can. Let’s just put it that way.”Nancy and her mom finished their hot chocolate, thanked the woman, and left the nursing home.Over the next few days, they walked by Dillon’s every afternoon. And every day, Waggy was there, waiting, tail wagging just a little less than before.Nancy always brought him treats.“Don’t worry, Waggy,” she whispered. “Papa will be back. We miss him too.”
Chapter 8On Christmas Eve, Nancy waited quietly for Santa to come.She set out a small slice of carrot cake—because she didn’t want Santa to get too heavy. Beside it, she left a note:Dear Santa,
All I want for Christmas is to know that Papa Giuseppe is safe and that he will be with us for a long time.
I miss him so much.
Love,
NancyShe placed the note beside the carrot cake and climbed into bed. But she couldn’t sleep a wink. She kept looking at the clock. The later it got, the heavier her eyelids became… until at last, she drifted off.Outside, the wind howled. Nancy stirred in bed. She thought she heard the pitter-patter of steps on the roof—and the soft rustling of bells.The candle in her room was still glowing faintly, and the moon was full, casting a gentle silver light across the floor.Could it be Santa? she thought, pulling the covers up beneath her chin.Then she heard a clang—maybe Santa had knocked over the fireplace tools. Maybe he wasn’t so graceful after all.Next came the sound of milk being gulped. “He must be thirsty,” Nancy thought.Then came a sound she didn’t expect at all.Crying.Could Santa be… crying?Nancy sat up. She pushed back the covers and tiptoed to the stairs.There, in the glow of the tree lights, was Santa Claus—sitting on the couch, his head in his hands, softly sobbing.The ornaments shook. Even the tree seemed to tremble.The note was in Santa’s hands.The carrot cake was gone. Not even a crumb remained.Nancy crept closer and gently placed her hand on his shoulder.“It’s going to be okay, Santa,” she said. “It’s going to be alright.”Santa paused, sniffled, and looked up.“Nancy? Is that you?”The voice sounded familiar.“Yes, Santa. It’s me. What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”“It’s your wish,” Santa said quietly. “I’m not sure I can grant it.”He sighed. “You see, I deal in presents, not people. My specialty is manufacturing, wrapping, and delivery.”He looked down again. “But…”He lifted his head slowly and smiled.“I have an idea. But you must promise—promise you’ll never tell anyone. This must stay inside your dream.”Then, he lowered his hands fully from his face.Nancy gasped.“Papa Giuseppe! It’s you! You’re Santa!”“Yes, my dear,” he said, chuckling through a tear. “I am Santa.”Nancy rushed into his arms and gave him the biggest hug he’d ever received.“And that carrot cake,” he whispered, “was delicious. Far better for me than the thousands of chocolate chip cookies I usually eat.”She giggled. “But Papa Giuseppe… how do you do it all? How do you sell chestnuts and work as Santa Claus?”“Well,” he said with a twinkle in his eye, “the elves do the lion’s share of the work. Most of it gets done in the summer when it’s warmer at the Pole. I like to spend the days before Christmas observing—and being with children like you. You are one of my favorites, Nancy.”He leaned in closer.“I have homes all over the world—little ones—where I go to keep an eye on things. And lots of helpers like Lady Rosalee at the nursing home.”Nancy looked at him, awestruck.“When I read your note,” he continued, “it broke my heart. I knew I wouldn’t be able to give you the one thing you wanted most. But now…”Nancy interrupted him, her eyes shining.“But now you did, Santa. I have the best present in the whole world—and it’s you.”He smiled.“That, my dear,” he whispered, “is the true secret of Christmas. The most important presents… are people. The people in our lives are the greatest gifts of all.”Then he leaned in and kissed two fingers and gently placed them on Nancy’s forehead.“Sweet dreams, Nancy. Sweet dreams.”
Chapter 9When Nancy woke up the next morning, she smiled… then paused.Had it all just been a dream?She jumped out of bed and ran to the Christmas tree. The floor beneath it was covered in gifts.The slice of carrot cake she had left out was gone—not even a crumb remained.The fireplace tools were knocked over.Could it be?It was still early. Her parents were fast asleep. Nancy couldn’t wait. She grabbed her stocking from the mantle and dumped its contents on the floor.Chocolate. Candy canes. A few tiny wrapped boxes. And then—at the very bottom—something she hadn’t expected.A giant chestnut.The biggest she had ever seen.Nancy held it gently in her hand. She knew, deep down, that this wasn’t just any chestnut. It was the kind only Papa Giuseppe—only Santa—could have given her.Later, when her parents came downstairs and they opened all the gifts, Nancy smiled wide. She loved the presents. Truly, she did.But after the last ribbon had been unwrapped and the last box opened, Nancy looked up and said:“These presents are wonderful. I love them so much… but you two”—she pointed to her mom and dad—“you’re the best presents of all.”Then she ran over and gave them both a giant hug.And in that moment, they knew—Nancy had discovered what Christmas was all about.
Chapter 10It wasn’t until New Year’s Day that Nancy saw Papa Giuseppe again.She and her mom had decided to swing by Dillon's to see if he might be nearby. Sure enough, there he was—Papa Giuseppe and Waggy, right on the corner of Newbury and Dartmouth, selling chestnuts as always.“Nancy, my dear!” Papa Giuseppe called out as she ran toward him, arms wide open.She landed right on his potbelly, hugging him just like she had on Christmas Eve.“I missed you so much!” Nancy exclaimed.“I had to go away for a little while,” he said, hugging her tight. “There was other work I had to take care of.”“Did you have a nice Christmas, Papa Giuseppe?”He looked into her eyes and smiled. “Yes, Nancy. It was the best of all.”She winked.He raised an eyebrow, surprised—but then winked back.“What was your favorite gift, Nancy?” he asked.“Well,” she said, trying to keep her grin from exploding, “it was the chestnut Santa gave me. The giant chestnut.”Nancy’s mom looked at her, puzzled. “What chestnut, Nancy?”Nancy laughed. “It was the one gift I ate before you woke up. The biggest chestnut I’d ever seen.”Papa Giuseppe chuckled. “Well, I don’t know if my chestnut will be bigger than Santa’s… but I’ve been saving this little present for you for a while.”He handed her a basket. Not just one of the biggest chestnuts she’d ever seen—but a whole basketful.Then Nancy’s mom gave her a little nudge, and Nancy remembered the gift she had brought for Papa Giuseppe—or rather, for Santa.She reached into her bag and pulled out a hand-knit sweater, lovingly made by her mom over the holidays. It was a double XL.“And there’s one more thing, Papa Giuseppe,” said Nancy, smiling. “A slice of your favorite carrot cake. Just like the one we had when…”She paused, placing two fingers to his lips.“Remember, Papa Giuseppe—it’s a secret.”He smiled knowingly.“The best presents of all,” she said, “are the people.”“But these chestnuts sure are delicious too,” she added.Waggy let out a bark, as if to say, Keep one for me!“Winter’s not so bad,” Nancy said. “In fact, it’s my favorite season of all. This has been the best Christmas ever.”Waggy couldn’t agree more. He wagged his whole body in approval.And finally, Papa Giuseppe said, “This year, I have a Christmas gift all my own—family to celebrate with.”He wrapped his arm around Nancy. Nancy’s mom pulled them both close.Waggy gave another bark.He most definitely agreed.-- The End --
