The Christmas Chronicles/Trixie

The Christmas Chronicles is a collection of 24 Christmas-themed short stories – around 500 words each – taking place at the North Pole from 1st to 24th December as Santa Claus prepares to launch his sleigh to deliver the presents.

The stories feature Santa, elves, reindeer, and other characters, and are filled with humorous mishaps and snowy adventures.

The book is designed to look like an advent calendar to fit the concept of 24 stories – one for every day in the build-up to Christmas. When you lift the flaps on the cover – each featuring an image of a different Christmas character or object – then underneath you will find the page number where the story featuring this subject begins.
