Christmas In Sign Language Novels & Stories

She ran to him and immediately began speaking in signs, her hands quick and expressive: "I’m so glad you’re back, Dad. I thought I would spend Christmas without you." Rafael felt a tightness in his chest, of love and gratitude. He knelt to her height and responded in signs with a tired smile: "I wouldn’t be able to handle a Christmas without you either, my little one." He hugged her tightly and signed that he had missed her. She laughed and did the same.

Grandpa used his hands to talk again to play up the story. “He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, and away they all flew like the down of a thistle. But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight— ‘Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good night!’” Grandpa smiled as he closed the book. “Now it’s time for little ones to be in bed so Santa can bring you gifts for being such good ups this year.” Grandpa knelt and kissed each of us on the forehead, even Lando. “I love you all. Now, let’s get you all tucked in.”

The room glowed with the warm and inviting light, casting a glow that seemed to capture the essence of the holiday. They held hands in a circle, each person sharing what they were grateful for and offering prayers and wishes of love and peace. The burning candles and soft music created an atmosphere of calmness and togetherness. It was a moment of reflection, a pause in time, where the true meaning of Christmas embraced their hearts.

Serendipity nodded, tearing her eyes away from the structure at last and smiling into those familiar green ones. As Corey led her inside, they were instantly greeted by dozens of working elves, each of whom called out, “Merry Christmas!” which Serendipity would have found rather odd considering Christmas was over months ago were she not standing in Santa’s Workshop at the North Pole. Instead, she answered with a jolly, “Merry Christmas!” in return. She noticed, and found it rather odd, that though Corey always acknowledged the speaker, he only chose to say, “Hello,” or “Good evening,” in response, never “Merry Christmas.”

Humming her response and nodding up and down, she responds, “How old are you?” “I turned twenty-one just before last Christmas.” I smile, but she just tilts her head. “Oh, no Christmas here?” “Sorry love, what’s Christmas?” “It’s a holiday celebrated a little differently around the world, people give out presents and families gather to spend time together, people decorate their houses with lights and have a big dinner, it’s very nice.”

He nodded eagerly, his excitement undiminished. The living room became our temporary sanctuary, a space where we waited, a family united, for the arrival of midnight. The countdown, a collective breath held until the stroke of twelve, was a shared moment of anticipation and joy. "Merry Christmas!" The joyous exclamation echoed through the room, a chorus of greetings and well-wishes. Gifts were exchanged, a flurry of colorful wrapping paper and excited squeals. Marco, overwhelmed by the bounty of presents, was a picture of pure delight, his laughter infectious.

Arthur and I join the others in the living room, where a beautiful Christmas tree stands, twinkling with lights and ornaments. We gather around, everyone smiling and chatting, waiting for the clock to strike twelve. There’s a sense of anticipation, and I can feel Arthur’s hand tighten around mine. Finally, the clock strikes midnight, and a cheer goes up. “Merry Christmas!” everyone calls out, exchanging hugs and kisses. Gifts are passed around, and the room fills with laughter and joy. After the gifts are exchanged, we all raise our glasses for a toast. Arthur’s father, a kind man with a twinkle in his eye, leads the toast.

Layla's POV Christmas Eve arrived, and Alex transformed our penthouse into a winter wonderland. A majestic tree stood tall, adorned with sparkling ornaments and garlands. Soft candlelight illuminated the room, casting a warm glow. It felt heavenly! Alex took my hand, leading me to the balcony overlooking the glittering city. “Merry Christmas, Layla,” he whispered, his eyes shining. “Merry Christmas to you too, Baby.” I smiled. Below, a private orchestra played festive melodies.

Her eyes were downcast, the frown still etched on her face, as though she couldn’t quite be part of this moment. But for the others, they continued, the melody lifting our spirits, and I found myself smiling as I sang the last part with ease: “I’ve got this Christmas song in my heart (Song in my heart), I’ve got the candles glowing in the dark, I’m hanging all the stockings by the Christmas tree, Oh, why? ‘Cause that’s Christmas to me…” “Merry Christmas, everyone!” Charlotte exclaimed, clapping her hands together. “Merry Christmas!” the rest of us echoed.

She slapped his hand away. "Yeah, the lady version of yours." Nova said for the first time. I think she is not the person to talk randomly. Tristan winked at her. "Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh, hey Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh....." We heard the chores of Christmas song. A big Santa was holding his Santa stick with Santa costume. He walked towards us. Anna flung at him and he laughed.
