Snow fell on Christmas Eve.

Snow fell on Maisys house.

Snow fell on Charleys house.

Snow fell on Cyrils house.

Snow fell on Tallulahs house.

Snow fell on Eddie！

He was on his way to see Maisy.

Everyone was invited to Maisys house for Christmas.

Flip-flap！ Cyril went on snowshoes and got there slowly.

Swoosh！ Swoosh！ Charley and Tallulah went by sledge and got there quickly.

Plod-plop！

Eddie walked ... and got stuck in the snow！

At Maisys house the

snow fell thick and fast.

And it was ... COLD！

The friends hurried in to keep warm by the fireside.

Everyone got ready for Christmas.

But where was Eddie？

They made mince pies， wrapped presents and put up paper chains.

But where was Eddie？

All together they decorated the Christmas tree.

But where was Eddie？

They all went out to look for him.

They found a shed covered in snow.

They found a bush covered in snow.

They found snow covered in snow ...

And at last they found Eddie.

Hooray！

But poor Eddie was stuck in the snow！

One， two， three ... pull！

One， two， three ... push！

Oh， dear， Eddie was still stuck！

Then Maisy had an idea.

She fetched the tractor.

One， two， three ... Pop！

That evening， everyone gathered around the tree to celebrate.

Then the five friends sang Christmas carols together ...

And Eddie sang the loudest of all！
