Ingredients
To decorate • 400g/14oz icing sugar • 3-4 tbsp water • 2-3 drops food colourings • Edible glitter Method • Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
• Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale, light and fluffy. • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract, a little at a time, until well combined. • Stir in the flour until the mixture comes together as a dough. • Roll the dough out on a lightly floured work surface to a thickness of 1cm/½in. • Using biscuit cutters or a glass, cut biscuits out of the dough and carefully place onto the baking tray. To make into Christmas tree decorations, carefully make a hole in the top of the biscuit using a straw. • Bake the biscuits for 8-10 minutes, or until pale golden-brown. Set aside to harden for 5 minutes, then cool on a wire rack. For the icing • Sift the icing sugar into a large mixing bowl and stir in enough water to create a smooth mixture. Stir in the food colouring. • Carefully spread the icing onto the biscuits using a knife and sprinkle over the glitter. Set aside until the icing hardens. Recipe from BBC Foods

Dear Yara,
Dear Elijah,

I heard you like having fun, Emma. We really love football here. But we play on ice, not grass. So instead of football boots, we wear ice skates! The ball is made of snow. And you score by kicking the ball between the giant icicles. Can you see who the referee is?
night, Day, your first Christmas Your first Christmas with stars shining bright! Look to the sky, filled what incredible joy, Your very first Christmas, first Christmas toy! In giving to you, your you are here, that happier be We couldn’t with my reindeer! But now I must fly away and we’re ready to go, You’re tucked up in bed, a HO HO HO! I’ll bid you farewell with
So, your best friend told me you’ve been learning great things this year. Keep it up and now you’re bigger you might win an award, just like the winning team when they lift the Elf Cup! After the game, I’ve got one last present to put on my sleigh. It’s for a special child. Can you guess who? Well, it looks like Dasher is ready for kick-off. But who’s that charging towards the pitch on a sledge? They’re heading straight for Dasher! I’d better go and help!
Merry Christmas Olivia!
HOT CHOCOLATE
With Christmas fast approaching, we need to test all the toys. Even pet toys! Only the best ones get delivered on Christmas Eve! MINCE PIES
Look, can you see the toys for dogs, like balls they can catch? And, of course there are toys for cats too – like feathers that tickle! There are even toys for hamsters, like wheels that spin round and round! Gosh they make me dizzy! What’s Rudolph playing with? Can you guess what type of pet that’s for? Now you’re bigger, and you’ve been such a good child this year, we’ll deliver a special toy for you too on Christmas Eve. The elves are just making it now! I hope you’re excited to open it on Christmas morning! Before I get back to playing with…I mean, testing the toys, your best friend told me you’ve been learning great things. Amazing! They also said you love having fun, which sounds brilliant! Right, I need to find my hat. I’m sure I left it around here somewhere. Can you spot it?
