Advent calendar Day 15. Look! A beautifully wrapped package has come down the toy chute. What could be inside? Oh! It's a doll for a lucky little girl. The elves put the package back together & they & Santa get back to work. Only 9 days left until Christmas Eve!

8 days before Santa's big night, the head reindeer has arrived at Santa's workshop to join the reindeer games in preparation for their Christmas Eve journey. The elves & Santa are glad to see him. Now Santa must see that his sleigh is ready for the trip!

On Day 17, there are some treats for the reindeer to snack on after their games. The elves enjoy feeding their friends.

Things are getting busy at the workshop, so Santa has brought in another elf to help on Day 18. Everyone makes their new mate feel right at home.

On Day 19 a toy sail boat joined the pile of gifts the elves have been busy making. Suddenly Santa announced, "Time to test the toys!" The elves like this part of the job best of all.

Only 4 days until Christmas Eve, & the excitement is building. A little wagon amuses the elves & Santa as they take a break from their chores.

Musical instruments arrived today! The elves & Santa break into some merry Christmas carols. "Joy to the world! Let earth receive her King!"

[JLMatterer]

Time is running out! Santa brings forth his goodie bag & a few more toys. The bag is quickly filled; the workshop is very busy today!

1 more day until Christmas Eve! A final present arrives, this one for Santa! It's an ornament for his sleigh. "It's lovely!" said Santa. "I'll put it on my sleigh tomorrow, & we'll be all ready for the big night!"

Our Advent calendar comes to an end. On Christmas Eve, Santa's sleigh arrives & it is quickly made ready. Santa puts on his new ornament for the sleigh, which is filled it with toys. The reindeer get a last snack before they begin their long flight across the world. The elves are all happy & jolly, for Christmas is tomorrow! "Merry Christmas! " they sing out loud to Santa.

"Merry Christmas to all!" says Santa Claus, his cheeks merry & bright. "Merry Christmas to all, & to all a good night!"

A Merry Christmas to all my friends on Aesclick Foro & beyond. Thanks for sharing Advent with me. God bless us, everyone.
