Finally got around to reading this. So sweet - very nice! I particularly like that this was something Callen did. It wasn't Hetty arranging it or Sam being in on it or some big team effort. It was just Callen. A lovely little story. (And I discovered it on Easter, so I guess that's fair - reading a holiday story on a holiday!)

The image of Callen in a Santa suit put a smile on my face the entire time I was reading this! Plus, I've completely fallen in love with Abigail. Thank you for writing such lovable OC's :)

Hope you had a Merry Christmas – sorry I’m a little late with the review. Just read both your and E Salvatore’s Christmas oneshots – still great to read even after Christmas!
I love that Callen is undercover as Santa and that his sleigh is a convertible without the reindeer.
“He tried to give the children a little hope to see them through.” – aw, Callen does seem to have a real soft spot for these kids.
“On Christmas morning Callen got to do what he does best – be someone else.” – loved the ending lines.
Great little Christmas oneshot – hope you had a great holiday.

This was so beautiful but also heartbreaking.

"Others just stared in awe at the site in front of them." - "the sight in front of them".
"And then there was always the one who pulled on the beard. "Ouch," he yelped. "Sorry Santa," said a little girl with amazment in her voice and sincere apologises in her eyes. "I thought you weren't real." Callen smiled gently and stopped rubbing the sore spot of his chin. "I'm very real, Abigail." Her eyes widened. "You know my name?" It came out barely above a shocked whisper but he heard every word – and every bit of hope that was blossoming in it as well. "I know everything," he said giving her a very gentle stroke down her nose. And he did. He knew everything about this orphanage. Every child, every worker. Even every budget figure. He did this every year. He'd find an orphange, check it out. Use channels that he probably shouldn't to find out all he needed to know. He did also talk to the director of the orphanage who helped him out with knowing the kids names and exactly what each of them would want. "Did you bring something for me?" Abigail asked quietly. Callen tilted her chin up and gave her a very big Santa smile. "Yes, I did. Shall we go find out what it is?" Her eyes brightened again and she nodded eagerly." - AW!
"said a little girl with amazment in her voice and sincere apologises in her eyes." - "little girl with amazement".
"He'd find an orphange," - "He'd find an orphanage,".
"He did also talk to the director of the orphanage who helped him out with knowing the kids names and exactly what each of them would want." - "the kids' names".
"The Christmas before he found his way into the Rostoff's home a Santa had come to visit the orphanage he'd been placed in." - "Rostoffs' home".
"Wow!" she breathed. "Polar bears are my favourite animal." "I know." Abigail looked up at him. "Because you know everything?" Callen nodded but his throat tightened. He had a feeling he knew what was coming from that hopeful, almost scared, look in her eyes. "Do you know if I'll every have a mummy and daddy again?" she asked so softly that no one else could hear. Her eyes filled with hope. His stomach filled with dread. How did he answer that? His arms tightened a little. "That I don't know Abigail," he said truthfully. "I'm sorry. Santa knows everything but not the future." It wasn't exactly a lie. Abigail glanced away and shrugged. Then she reached up and kissed his cheek. "That's okay Santa. Don't worry." This was such an amazing little girl – she was only 5. Here she was more worried about having hurt Santa or made him sad, yet she was living such a sad life herself." - AW!
"Do you know if I'll every have a mummy and daddy again?" - "I'll ever have".
Santa Callen is ace!
