A fair9 tale Christmas
Mac
book
takes
Laura
on a
journej
Once upon a time there
lived a little girl named
Laura. She was reading a
book when the book
started to glow and it
started to get windy. All
of a sudden it started to
pull her into the book.
She closed her eyes and
when she opened them
she was standing in the
middle of a toy shop.
Laura started to walk
around. Laura heard a
jingle of bells and she
went toward the sound.
Then she found the sound
and what was making it.
She was so surprised
because she was staring
at Santa Claus. Laura
said, "What are you doing
here?" Santa chuckled
and said, "I'm shopping
for Christmas presents."
"But I thought your elves
made all of the toys." said
Laura.. "The ones we
don't get made, I buy,"
said Santa. Then Laura
started to help Santa pick
out,the toys. Santa asked
Laura if she wanted to go
to the North Pole and
help Santa and his elves
wrap the presents. Laura
said she would love to.
When they got to the
North Pole Laura
couldn't believe her eyes,
there were elves all over
the place. When they
went inside Laura saw
Mrs. Claus knitting a
sweater. When they were
done wrapping the
presents it was Christmas
Eve. Laura helped load
up the presents and hook
up the reindeer. It was
time to go. Laura was so
excited because she
would be riding with
Santa. That night it was
foggy and cold. 'Laura
was glad to see Rudolgh.
When every house was,
done, Santa dropped off
Laura at her house and
tucked her into bed. In
the morning Laura
remembered it was
Christmas. She was so
excited. She ran down the
stairs and wioke up her
mom and dad. Whcn
Laura was done opening
all her presents and
looking in her stocking
she found a note Santa
left. She read it and it
said: Dear Laura, I hope,
you had a fun time and I
wish you a very Mcrry
Christmas. - Love Santa.
Laura showed • her
parents the note and she
had told them all about
her adventure but they
didn't believe a word she
was saying. But Laura
knew it really happened.

Rudolph
Just dive
bets a coid
ays until Christmas
Once upon a time just five days before
Christmas, Santa was in the workshop helping
the elves with the last of the Christmas gifts.
Suddenly Dasher came dashing in and
exclaimed to Santa that Rudolph had come
down with a cold! Santa jumped up and ran to
,the Reindeer Lounge, and sure enough there
was Rudolph lying in bed with many boxes of
Kleenex lying around him. "Oh no!"
exclaimed Santa. "This.is not good, not good
at all!" Rudolph couldn't stop sneezing and
with one big, giant sneeze Rudolph's nose
blew right out! That's right! Hig big, bright,
red nose glowed no more It was just a plain,
old nose! "Rudolph," cried Santa, "what do
we do now?" "My nose will glow again,"
reassured Rudolph. "after my cold's gone.
You'll have to find a replacement for this
Christmas night." "A replacement! A
replacement, we've only got five days till
Christmas!"wailed Santa. But nothing could
be done, they had no choice but to find a
replacement.
That day the elves posted ads for a backup
reindeer. In just a few minutes all the reindeer
had read an ad and were talking about it. They
. all though they would get the job. Then
Chipper, the smallest reindeer of all, read an
ad. "I think I'll try to lead the sleigh," he said,
and with that all the reindeer burst r
It's a week before
Christmas and in Santa's
workshop the elves were
hard at work finishing the
toys. Santa was trying to get
fat for the big night and the
reindeer were practicing their
flying to pull Santa's sleigh.
But two elves were not doing
their job. They were looking
over some blueprints. The
pair then went into the shed
where Santa keeps his sleigh
and started to build. The
other elves were forbidden to
go in the shed.

laughing! Imagine. that. the smallest reindeer
of all, leading Santa's hig sleigh! Chipper
suddenly became very sad. "Why would I say
such a thing? I'm so small. why would Santa
pick me? Then he sadly walked away.
The next day at Santa's house there were
reindeer to your left; reindeer to your right. up
anddown. every where! At exactly 1:00 p.m.
Santa opened his door and the auditions
began. At about 5:00 p.m. Santa thought he
might be done when he saw something slowly
moving towards hinr. It was Chipper. Santa
gave a little chuckle to himself. How could
someone so slow lead my hig sleigh'' But in
Chipper's hand he held a case. He slowly
opened the case and in it were a small pair of
glasses. Imagine that. a reindeer with glasses.
Sure enough when Chipper put them on he
could see such small things and so far away. It
was amazing. "Wow." Santa said. "you're
perfect!" "Really"." asked Chipper. "Nobody's
ever picked me for anything before!" "Well."
said Santa, "I am about to change that!"
Soon it was Christmas Eve and everything
and everyone was ready. and there at the -very
front of Santa's sleigh was Chipper. And on
his nose were those tiny glasses. Three cheers
for Chipper! Hip. Hip Hooray!

elves blindfolded Santa and
brought him into the shed.
One of the elves removed the
blindfold and standing right
in front, of him was a
beautiful red and green sleigh
fully equipped with an
Espresso machine. a cookie
machine, a candy stash and
foot warmers. Santa was
delighted. He jumped into

the slcigh happily and called
in all the elves and rcindcr to
show them the great gill he
had been given. He showed
them all the gizmos and
gadgets.
That Christmas was a truly
happy Christmas. at least for
Santa it was.
