A little girl named Maribel is given a magic sea shell that lets her go wherever she wants. She goes to Santa's palace in the Arctic. Santa and Mrs. Claus asks Maribel to go with Santa in his sleigh on Christmas Eve. Maribel learns the true meaning of Christmas.

Maribel sees many wonderful things: toys that walk by themselves up stairs, humming whales, Eskimos being tossed high into the air and laughing with the moon. This is a fun Christmas poem to share with children, and adults too!
