A squirrel wearing a tiny Christmas hat sitting jauntily on its head was the unexpected hero in a quaint little town where snowflakes danced delicately in the chilly night air. Nobody realized that this animal companion was going to set out on a wacky journey that would give the customary Christmas Eve a hint of nuttiness.
The squirrel noticed a plate of cookies prepared for the arrival of the one and only Santa Claus as the clock neared midnight while perched high on a snowy branch outside a cozy window. The squirrel was surprised to find that a couple of cookies were missing. With a gleam in its eyes, the squirrel made the hasty decision to substitute its favorite nut for the missing cookies in an effort to make sure Santa’s visit went perfectly.
