Rella the Christmas Hero
Once upon a time in the North Pole, there was a little reindeer named Rella. She had a bright, yellow nose and she was a fast reindeer. On Christmas Eve, Rudolph had played with his friends all day and Rella slept all day. Rella did not know what was going to happen next.
On Christmas Eve night, Santa and his elves got all the reindeer fed and hydrated for the flight. Rudolph was too tired and sleepy to fly the sleigh. Santa left the North Pole and used the other reindeer to fly the sleigh in the DARK. Santa’s reindeer lost control and crashed onto Rella’s roof.
Rella was scared of what she had heard and Rella’s nose started glowing bright. Santa saw Rella’s nose through the window. Santa went to Rella and asked her if she would guide his sleigh tonight. Rella said YES!
Santa hooked her up to the sleigh, and they took off to deliver the presents. When they were done, Santa took Rella home and said bye-bye and thank you!
The next morning, all the kids were so happy. Rella saved Christmas for everyone.
The End!
