On a frosty Christmas Eve, in a small cozy town, Little Emma and Huey ran up and down. The snowflakes danced in the cold winter air, And the world was wrapped in a blanket so fair. Emma’s cheeks glowed like the holly so bright, As she dreamed of adventures in the still, silent night. With Huey beside her, so fluffy and true, They were ready for magic and wonders anew. They wandered through forests all dusted with white, Where the stars overhead twinkled softly with light. Huey barked gently, his nose to the ground, When suddenly, footsteps they both heard resound. From behind a tall pine stepped a man dressed in red, With a twinkle in his eye and a hat on his head. “Why, hello there, Emma,” Santa said with a grin, “I was hoping for help—shall we begin?” The sleigh had been stuck on a slippery hill, And the reindeer were tired, their breath frozen still. Emma and Huey, without a delay, Said, “We’ll help you, Santa, and save Christmas Day!” With a rope and their strength, they pulled with all might, And soon Santa’s sleigh was soaring in flight. “Thank you, dear Emma, and Huey as well, You’ve saved Christmas Eve with your kindness to tell!” As a gift for their help, Santa left a surprise: A golden collar for Huey and for Emma, bright skies. He flew off with a “Ho ho ho!” through the night, As Emma and Huey watched him fade out of sight. Back home they returned, hearts full of delight, Knowing they’d made the world brighter that night. And every Christmas Eve, as the snow softly falls, Emma and Huey still wait for Santa’s calls.
