Story - “Tis the night before Christmas ___”
…and just as the clock struck midnight, a tiny blue glow flickered in the corner of the living room. You blinked. At first you thought it was the reflection of the last log burning in the hearth—but then it moved.
Out stepped the smallest reindeer you’d ever seen, no bigger than a kitten, with silvery wings tucked behind its shoulders and eyes like warm cinnamon. “Hello,” it squeaked, “I’m Spark—Santa’s newest scout. I’ve lost my magic bell. Without it, I can’t guide the sleigh!”
Your heart thumped with excitement—lost bells? Magic reindeer? On Christmas Eve?
Before you could answer, a whisper of wind brushed past, scattering fairy-like sparkles across the room. The fire crackled eagerly, as if encouraging you to help.
With a determined smile, you and Spark zipped out into the snowy night. You followed tiny hoofprints that gleamed under the moonlight, winding through glittering pines and frosted paths. Each step crackled like candy cane crystals underfoot.
Finally, nestled in the branches of the tallest tree, jingled the tiniest, brightest bell you’d ever heard. You reached up—and as your fingers brushed it—it sang. A melody so joyful it felt like Christmas morning itself.
Spark leapt into your arms, bell tied snugly around its neck. “Thank you!” it cheered, wings fluttering like heartbeats.
