It was a few weeks before Christmas and the meadow was ringing with the shouts of laughter of pets playing with snowballs and the giggling of several little snowmen.

Dancer, the Christmas Reindeer, trotted up to the group. "Hello, everyone!" she greeted them. "The fun has started early here!"
"Oh yes," replied Blue Bobble Hat. "The five of us are planning a trip away before Christmas."

"You'll be coming back, won't you?" enquired Dancer in some concern.
"Yes, of course," responded Purple Bobble Hat. "Come on, let's find the others and we'll tell you all about it. You may even be able to help us!"
"I'll do whatever I can," said Dancer, a little puzzled, but she trotted willingly in Purple Bobble Hat's wake.

The group of snowmen were grouped around a snow statue of Blue Bobble Hat. The eponymous subject of the masterpiece roused himself from his reverie and turned to Dancer.
"Do you know what anniversary is coming up? It's almost a whole year now since this Christmas card was issued in PnF Land, and there was a huge interest in meeting me here. So Uncle David made enquiries as to whether any of my friends and I would like to stay in PnF, and then sent Santa with his sleigh to come and pick us up and transport us here. It was such a giggle! Did you know there's nearly thirty of us now in PnF?"

"Remember how we'd hide in the snow and of course, Santa couldn't find us because we were so well camouflaged!" reminisced Black Felt Hat.
They all giggled a lot at the memory.
"Anyway," continued Blue Bobble Hat. "We just fancied going back home for a visit, to see how things are in Frostbite Falls. I say "home", but of course, PnF is home now. But we need a troupe of reindeer to pull the sleigh. We'll have to be back by Christmas Eve, of course, or Santa won't be at all happy!" They giggled cheerfully at the thought.
"I'll help pull the sleigh, of course," said Dancer. "I'll go and round up some pals to help too!"

They had to go to some of the snowiest parts of PnF Land! Not all the reindeer wanted to take part in the journey, by any means.

Dancer and one of her reindeer friends met the snowmen in the park.
"We've done it!" announced the Christmas reindeer. "We have enough of us to pull the sleigh!"
The snowpets cheered heartily! "We'll go and get the sleigh," announced Blue Bobble Hat. "Meet you in the meadow later?"

There was a lot of excitement in the meadow later that day. The route had to be plotted and everything they were taking needed to be carefully listed and securely stowed in the sleigh. Amber Bobble Hat insisted on referring to the document as the manifest, and took charge of it. Then the reindeer needed to don the traces that pulled the sleigh. At long last they were all ready!

And they were off!
The assembled reindeer team quickly got into their stride, pulling through the sky the sleigh with its excited, giggling cargo.

Oh no! Amber Bobble Hat was mortified that his navigation had gone awry, and they had ended up at the North Pole! They all reassured him, however, that it was good to explore different places and they were still in plenty of time to return the sleigh to Santa for Christmas Eve.

Safely back at last, the reindeer celebrated with a barrel of juicy apples and more fresh carrots. It had been snowing during their absence and PnF Land looked very festive.
"Santa will be happy we're back with the sleigh in such good time," remarked Alba. There was no response.
An unwelcome suspicion dawned on Alba.
"You did ask Santa if you could borrow his sleigh?" she asked.
Blue Bobble Hat smiled innocently and reply made he none . . .
