Twinkle Twinkle Little… Comet?

The elves have been busy making a special Christmas tree today.  Last year Mrs Claus made them a special star out of sparkles, feathers and lights.  The elves have wanted to put it on top of a Christmas tree for a long time.

The elves decided to make a special outdoor tree for it out of snow.   It started out quite small.   But, it soon got bigger and BIGGER!  It got so big that they needed help to decorate it.

The snow Christmas tree started out the size of a snowball.  All of the elves kept adding more snow.  Soon it was the size of an elf.  Then it was the size of a reindeer.   In the end, it was as high as the toy workshop roof!  The elves had to stand on each other’s shoulders to put the last snow branches on.  They looked like they were doing a circus trick!

It was so tall that it all got a bit too wobbly.   Then, with a great big “FLUMP!”, the elves tumbled down to the ground.

Nobody was hurt but they were sad.   “How will we get the star on to the top of the tree?” they said.

The reindeer were doing some flying practice nearby.   “We could help,” they said.  “I can fly the star up to the top of the tree,” said Comet.

“Hooray for Comet!” cheered the elves.

Comet put the feather star on the end of her nose.  Up and up and up she flew with the star.  The feathers fluttered.  The lights sparkled.  The sparkles twinkled.   But the feathers tickled her nose!

“A-CHOO!” Comet closed her eyes when she sneezed.  Can you guess what happened next?

She landed on the top of the tree!  She was covered in twinkling sparkles and sparkling lights with the feather star still on the end of her nose!

“Look!” said the elves. “We have a Reindeer Star on the top of our tree!”

Merry Christmas!
