ribbon. Stevie put it around his neck, and it jingled merrily as

he pranced around the snowy forest.

As Stevie explored, he met other animals who had come to

celebrate Christmas. There was the wise old owl Oliver who

hooted a cheerful greeting; “Merry Christmas, pal;” a family of

rabbits who invited Stevie to join their snowball fight; and a

friendly deer who showed Stevie how to make snow angels. Stevie

felt so happy and loved, surrounded by his new and old friends

and the magic of Christmas.

Just as Stevie was about to open another present, he felt a

gentle nudge. He opened his eyes to see Timmy, smiling down at

him. "Merry Christmas, Stevie," he whispered, placing a real

stocking filled with toys and treats beside his bed.

Stevie purred with contentment, knowing that sometimes, dreams

do come true.

White Christmas

Bing Crosby

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know

Where the treetops glisten and children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow
