A DREAM coveted by millions of children across the world has come true for Terri Calvesbert this Christmas.

As fresh snow crunched underfoot and sleigh bells tinkled behind reindeer, a moment of pure magic shone through.

Six-year-old Terri's face lit up as she met Santa Claus in Lapland.

She sat by his side and gazed up at him in wonder.

The Ipswich girl – whose courage continues to touch hearts four years after the fire in which she suffered terrible burns – had not stopped talking about her trip of a lifetime for a month.

Today she has enjoyed it to the full, and returned home early this morning enraptured and ready for Christmas Day itself.
