Once there was a bear and a reindeer. They were stuffed toys and the bear belonged to a little boy called Teddy.

The reindeer belonged to his sister Emma. They had been given them as Christmas presents when they were babies on their first Christmas ever. Emma and Teddy really loved the bear and the reindeer.

One day, on Christmas Eve, Emma and Teddy were getting ready for bed with a delicious mug of hot chocolate. When they went to sleep, Santa came to Emma and Teddy’s house. He was running late because Rudolf had a sore hoof (he had been snowboarding), there was also a sick elf (his friend had buried him in snow, as a game).

Santa badly needed one reindeer and one helper, so he brought them to life. He attached the reindeer to his sleigh and put the bear in the passenger seat and they were off!!! They were delivering all the presents all over Southport, it looked beautiful with all the shiny and twinkly lights. They had been past the Botanic Gardens and made a quick stop at The Atkinson.

They were having an amazing time, but then they were travelling over the pier when disaster struck. All of the naughty seagulls were flying over them, swooping down and pecking at the presents and eating the wrapping paper.

All of a sudden, the bear had an idea. He sent Santa to get some chips (with extra ketchup) from the fish n chip shop on the pier. After snaffling a few of the chips (it had been a long night) Santa got back in the sleigh and threw rest of the the chips down for the seagulls to eat. The bear saved Christmas.

The next day was Christmas Day and the reindeer threw a party to celebrate at the YMCA. It was a roller disco and rock climbing!! Emma and Teddy were invited and they had a blast.
