Christmas story for toddlers: Santa's slippers
2 min read · For:
Good morning, North Pole!
The sun peeped over the snowy hills. Santa opened his eyes. He stretched his arms. Streeeetch.
He swung his legs out of bed. And where did his feet go?
Into his slippers. His big, red, woolly slippers, with a white pom-pom on each toe.
"Ahh," said Santa. "Warm toes."
Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle.
Good morning, cat
Santa shuffled to the stairs. On the bottom step lay Snowdrop, the white cat, curled up like a snowball.
"Good morning, Snowdrop," said Santa.
"Miaow," said Snowdrop. And she followed him. Pad, pad, pad.
Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle.
Good morning, kettle
Santa shuffled to the kitchen. He filled the kettle and switched it on.
"Good morning, kettle," said Santa.
The kettle started to hum. Hmmm. Then it bubbled. Blub, blub, blub. Then it whistled. Wheeee!
Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle.
Good morning, birds
Santa shuffled to the window. Outside, on the windowsill, sat three little birds, all fluffed up against the cold.
"Good morning, birds," said Santa.
He opened the window a crack and sprinkled some seeds. The birds pecked. Peck, peck, peck. "Tweet, tweet, tweet," they said. That means thank you.
Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle.
Good morning, reindeer
Santa shuffled to the back door. He looked out at the stable. A reindeer poked its head out and looked back at him.
"Good morning, reindeer," called Santa.
The reindeer shook its head. Jingle, jingle, went the bell on its collar.
Santa looked down at his slippers. "I'm not going out in the snow in these," he laughed. "I'll come and see you after breakfast, in my boots."
Shuffle, shuffle, shuffle.
Good morning, Pip
Knock, knock. The front door opened. In came Pip the elf, with snow on his hat.
"Good morning, Santa!" said Pip.
"Good morning, Pip," said Santa. "Would you like some breakfast?"
"Yes, please," said Pip. And he looked at Santa's feet. "I like your slippers."
Pip took off his snowy boots. And underneath, he was wearing... little red woolly socks, with a white pom-pom on each toe.
Santa and Pip looked at their feet. Then they looked at each other. And they laughed and laughed.
Then they sat down together for breakfast. With warm toes.
Good morning!
