IT'S A LOCKET.

FROM YOUR FATHER.

OH... IT'S A STAR, MAMA.

YOUR DAD SAID:

AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW THAT STAR,

YOU'LL NEVER GET LOST.

NO MATTER HOW HARD

THINGS IN LIFE GET,

THE STAR SHOWS US

THAT THERE'S ALWAYS A WAY OUT.

AS LONG AS THE STAR

IS SHINING...

THERE'S HOPE.

OKAY, MERRY CHRISTMAS!
