Dougie was a jolly boy with a big smile. One day, he heard a soft giggle in the snowy garden. "Who is that?" he called. Out popped two little elves! They had shiny green clothes and pointy hats. "I'm Merry!" said the first elf, bouncing with joy. "And I'm Jingle!" the second elf chimed, waving a tiny bell.
The elves twirled and danced around Dougie. "Want to help us?" Merry asked. Dougie nodded, his eyes wide with excitement. They had a big task! Together, they started making beautiful toys for all the good children. "This is the best Christmas ever!" Dougie laughed as he painted bright colors on the wooden cars.
As the sun began to set, the snowy garden glowed under the soft light of the stars. "Look!" Jingle exclaimed, pointing upwards. A sleigh was gliding across the sky, pulled by reindeer! "It's Santa!" Dougie shouted, clapping his hands in wonder. The elves gave a knowing nod, twinkling with delight at the magical sight.
Santa landed gracefully near them with a warm "Ho ho ho!" He stepped off his sleigh and greeted them with a twinkle in his eye. "I see you've been busy, my little helpers!" he chuckled, inspecting the colorful toys. Merry and Jingle beamed with pride, and Dougie felt his heart swell with happiness.
With a wink, Santa handed Dougie a shimmering snow globe. "For you," he said kindly. "Whenever you shake it, remember this special day." As Dougie watched the snowflakes swirl inside, he knew he'd never forget his magical adventure with Merry, Jingle, and Santa. And with that, the elves waved goodbye, promising to return next Christmas.
