Santa's Helpers Story
"Welcome to Santa's Village," boomed a cheerful deep voice. EarTwiggle and Lily looked up into the smiling, bearded face of Santa Claus who was sitting in a big, comfy red chair. "Thank you for coming to help us! These are some of my helpers," said Santa, looking around at the elves. One of the elves handed EarTwiggle and Lily each a red jacket and a funny-looking pair of shoes. "Hi, my name is Trip. Just put these clothes on. They will keep you warm here in Santa's Village." EarTwiggle and Lily quickly pulled on their elf clothes . . .

Gingerbread Man Ornament
Make a dough from applesauce and cinnamon. Press flat until it's about 1/4-inch thick. Cut with a gingerbread man cookie cutter and use a straw to punch a hole near the top. Lay flat to dry on wax paper. It will take about a week until the ornament is dry. Glue on decorations and attach a shiny red ribbon.
Recipe:
1/4 cup cinnamon
4 tbsp applesauce
Mix together cinnamon and applesauce. If the dough is too sticky to handle, add more cinnamon. If it's too dry, add more applesauce.
