It was nearly Christmas. Katie woke up and found that the world was white and magical.
Snow,she shouted, snow
for Christmas.
She ran outside and danced in the snow. Her brother Eddie came out too.
They made a big round snowball and a small one. They put them together and made a huge
snowman. On Christmas Eve they looked at the snowman. He waved at them. He was alive!
Hello, he said, it’s
Christmas. Would you like
a present?
Yes please! The snowman waved his arms. Silver crystal snowflakes filled the sky. It was so beautiful.
We must give you a present too, said Katie. They gave the snowman a carrot for a nose, a scarf for
his neck, and a hat for his head.
Happy Christmas! they said.
The snow stopped and the sun came out. The snowman started to melt.
