Christmas trees

One Christmas Eve the trees in a wood were very unhappy. They wished very much to make Christmas stay, but they (NOT KNOW) how to do so. ‘We are so bare,’ complained one tree. ‘If we only had our pretty green summer dresses,’ said other trees.
‘Hush, children, hush,’ whispered North Wind in a gentle voice, which was unusual for the (BAD) of all winds. ‘Go to sleep.’ While they slept something happened.
When the trees awoke they found that someone, perhaps North Wind, had cast over each of (THEY) a lovely soft cloak of spotless feathery white.

What a story!

Daniel, aged 4, returned from Sunday school with a new amusing Christmas story about the Three Wise Men of the East. They (BRING) gifts to the baby Jesus.
Daniel was so excited he just had to tell his parents, “I learned in Sunday School all about the very (ONE) Christmas. There wasn’t a Santa Claus then, so these three wise men on camels had to deliver all the toys.
And Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer with his nose so bright (NOT LEAD) the sleigh, so they had to follow the big star in the sky to find their way around”.
