Santa’s Surprise Supper

Sometimes I like to do something to make Mrs. Claus feel special, to thank her for all she does.  I had the perfect chance to surprise her the other day when she was teaching a gingerbread cookie class at the shop.  She would be out of the house for a few hours, so I decided to spend that time making a surprise dinner!

At first things went well.  I mixed up a tasty-smelling meatloaf and stuck it in the oven.  Things were going so well that I thought I could start mixing some cookie dough while the meatloaf cooked.  I mixed a few things together, but the dough was just a sticky mess that stuck to my hands.

I had been so distracted with my cookies that I had forgotten the meatloaf until Clumsy the Elf came rushing in.  “Something is burning!  Something is burning!”  I looked around and sure enough, Clumsy was right!  He had seen smoke coming from my window and had rushed in to see what was happening.

“This is a mess!”  I cried.  “What will I do?”

I had no idea what a good cook Clumsy was until he began to help me fix my messy meal.  He added a bit more flour to the goopy cookie dough and fixed it right up!  He then helped me mix up a brand new batch of meatloaf, adding a few things I would have never thought of like red and green peppers.

Mrs. Claus was so pleased when she came home to such a great meal.  Thanks Clumsy!

Merry Christmas!
