Ja'len Shippy, 11, has a smile that will light up the room.
Ja'len also lights up when he talks about his favorite things to do at Christmas.
"I like to exchange presents with my mom and dad and celebrate Jesus' birthday," Ja'len said.
Ja'len is also quite an athlete. He hopes to get lots of sports equipment for Christmas.
"I want a PlayStation 4, a basketball goal, a soccer goal, some games for my PS4, a football, some new clothes, and some new shoes," he said.
Ja'len also said his favorite holiday meal is chicken with rice and gravy.
"I'm thankful for my family and for God putting me on the earth,” Ja’len said.
Merry Christmas, Ja'len, and we'll make sure Santa is on the top of his game.
