Xmas Hero
paper xmas pattern

Step inside the storybook and see,
A festive land as bright as can be.
The Grotto glows with twinkling lights,
Where dreams take flight on Christmas night.

Here, wishes sparkle, letters soar,
On special journeys to Santa’s door.
But turn the page, there’s more to unwrap –
A Christmas tale where dreams fall in your lap.

Glide on ice so crisp and bright,
Ride the big wheel into the night.
Fairground laughter fills the air,
While Snowstorm Wish enchants with flair.
Then gather round and feast away,
As we count down the days to Christmas Day.
