Jolly Helpers

It's almost that time of the year again! Santa's workshop is in full swing as they get ready to deliver presents all over the world and children everywhere are on their best behavior to be sure to make it onto the nice list. We always think about dear old Santa, but what about all the others that help make Christmas magical?

Adrick, our Elf on the Shelf, has arrived to keep an eye on my boys during the day and report back to Santa at the North Pole at night. Seeing their faces light up when they find Adrick every morning is what makes the elf special in our house.

Adrick is a lot like Arty, the Advent Elf, who is discovered by Paul when he is delivering his first advent present. How will Paul get Arty home or was Arty just part of a magical dream?

The Little Red Elf finds a pinecone and quickly plants and waters it until the pine tree is ready for decorating in the workshop while the reindeer, the penguin and the hare just relax. When it comes time to open the presents under the tree EVERYONE is eager to volunteer. This adaptation of The Little Red Hen will have you ho-ho-hoing.

Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer is the most popular of Santa's helpers. Read this classic story that shows that being different is just what makes us special!

Read Uncles and Antlers to get to know the eight family members that gather once a year to help Santa deliver all the presents. This is a different take on the reindeer team that pulls Santa's sleigh.

When Santa falls ill the day before Christmas, Pete the Cat Saves Christmas by delivering presents in his red minibus led by Santa's reindeer. GROOVY!
