"Ah! Thank you! This will make a very happy Christmas for another little girl!" Momoko beamed at the big-eyed girl who was holding out a giant stuffed My Little Pony almost bigger than she was. The tears in her eyes hinted that maybe the idea of it being a donation toy had not been hers. "And Santa thanks you very much for helping him when he's so totally busy."
The girl's eyes grew even bigger at the mention of Santa and there was finally a hint of a shy smile, but she turned and ran back to her parents without having said a word.
Momoko turned to Dinah, her elf cap jingling merrily as she tagged the pony for the 'Unalachtigo Dorm' bins. "So cute! Did you see her? She had the softest looking hair and the cutest little coat!"
