how did he/she save christmas?:
It was dark and stormy Christmas eve over in the North Pole. Santa Paws was getting worried; how could he possible drive his sleigh in this weather? He didn't want his reindeer getting hurt, or worse! But it seemed there was no way they could get out of there without being blown off-course..
Meanwhile, a young little elf named Buddy was musing over some more-than-complicated blueprints. He understood them; he was actually pretty smart, but the other elves didn't acknowledge that. He grabbed some tools and set to work immediately, wanting to finish by tomorrow. He worked all into the night, never stopping to rest or take a drink of hot cocoa. These had to be perfect. In the morning, he took off his safety goggles and smiled to himself. Taking what he had built, he quickly attached one to Santa's sleigh and one to Rudolph's harness. "Santa!" Buddy called. "Come to the sleigh! There's something I need to show you." When Santa arrived, he smiled and pressed a button on the remote he was holding. At once, a forcefield appeared, surrounding both the sleigh and the reindeer. "This will protect you from the harsh weather," he explained, looking up at Santa for approval. "Oh, thank you Buddy!" Santa exclaimed, bringing in the little elf for a hug. "This is a miracle! You've saved Christmas!" Buddy smiled wide and looked up at Santa, happiness in his eyes. The misfit, the one everyone disliked.. had saved Christmas for them all. [249/300]

How did he save christmas?:
Theo Ran to the Gate, the Sirens where Wailing, a Child had somehow managed to get on Santas Sleigh when he wasnt watching, and when he came back to the north pole to pick up more presents the child had gotten in to the toy factory and had Santa Captive or atleast thats what Theo had heard from the other Helpers as they ran around in panic. Theo headed strait for the Toy Factory as the other Helpers where running in the opposite Direction, he managed to Fight the crowed and get inside. He jumped back in surprise, a Bright pink Plumie was standing on top of one of the huge throne that Santa usually sat on when watching the helpers work. Theo looked back and forth then noticing he was the only one left in there other then the Girl, he walked forward cautiously,then he looked up at her and spoke, "What in the North pole are you doing!?!?" he shouted looking at her like she was Crazy, the Girl just laughed that meangirl I am better then you laugh, "HAHA! I AM AMITY AND I SHALL GET 5000 LIKES ON THIS POST! THAT IS ALL I WAAAANNT!" she shouted on the top of her lungs. Theo Sat down, Really Confused now, he was unsure what she ment on 'this post' but he guessed it had something to do with facebook or something like that, he let out a exasperated sigh, "If I tell all the Helpers who happened to have this Account on Facebook will you let us go back to work and let uhh Santa go?" He asked with a Awkward Smile, Amity laughed "well Duh, thats All I want for Christmas" she laughed, Theo facepawed, that was Certainty the strangest Request ever.

"Alright everyone, we're ready to begin stocking up the sleigh with gifts for all the children!"
The workshop erupted in applause and Esther joined in. After 363 days, 10 hours and...28 minutes, they finally had gifts for every child, crafted in their workshop.
Esther weaved through the crowd and entered the "outdoor" section; her section. Each corner was piled high with bikes, basketballs and more.

Esther went to bag up the toys in the 'wrapped and ready' pile, grabbing a brown thatch sack as usual. Before she took the first gift from the pile and put it in her sack, a gasp came beside her. Another helper held his sack aloft, inspecting a considerable hole. Others did the same and discovered more; as did Esther.

"Do we have rats in here?" Cried a voice. "How will we get all these toys to the sleigh now?" They needed to move them - and fast - so they had to think faster.

"I've got it!" Esther cried. Grabbing what she needed, she pushed them along the shop floor and grabbed a screwdriver on the way. She collected four wheels, a red sledge and a bicycle handlebar. This had to work.

Esther's years of being a helper paid off, and in just 15 minutes, she had created a trolley of sorts, and already was piling it high with wrapped goodies. The wheels made it very easy for a team of four helpers to scoot across the shop floor and dash back for another pile - it turned out to be even quicker than the sacks they had used before.

Soon all the bikes and swing-ball sets were atop the sleigh; the helpers waving them off as they sped into the moonlit sky. The children opening up scooters or trikes tomorrow would have Esther to thank.

Not your average Christmas song; and she would agree. But the beautiful tones and mesmerizing lyrics captivate her.

How did he/she save christmas?:
T'was the night before Christmas. All was well in Santa's
cozy, dark room until an elf stormed in. Santa awoke soundly
and asked the elf, "Why, is there something wrong?" The Elf
pointed at the end of the 'good list'. There was one name that
wasn't checked off- one girl who didn't get any presents made
for her at all. Santa widened his eyes and called for the present
making elves, but they said they've run out- and the next ship
of supplies would be coming next year. Frantically, Santa and
the Elves looked everywhere, but they didn't see a thing.

Suddenly, a small plumie went in the room. No one noticed at
first until she cleared her voice loudly. Everyone looked over at
her. She was carrying a perfectly, new white teddy bear."Give
his to her, Santa." Everyone went quiet. Santa whispered, "Vixen..
Are you sure?" Vixen nodded boldly, " Yes. It's Christmas.
Everyone on the Good List deserves to be gifted something, no
matter what. The little girl has been waiting for this moment- for a
present, and we must not destroy that. She deserves it more than
I do..." Everyone was still silent, but claps started to fill the room.
Vixen gave Santa the teddy bear, and soon the reindeers were
ready to start delivering presents. Santa smiled softly at Vixen
and told her, "I'll make sure I deliver the little girl's present last-
best for last." Vixen waved good-bye, before heading away.

The next afternoon, on Vixen's bed there was a card that had the
words 'Thank you for my Teddy!' written on it. Next to the card
was a hand-sewn Teddy Bear. Vixen hugged the bear, and put it
next to her pillow. She put the card underneath her fluffy pillow,
before going to sleep.

How did he/she save christmas?:
I looked around, it was Christmas Eve and most of everything was done, Santa had left with his sleigh hours before and all the Elves were relieved while they were tracking on a map with blinking lights where Santa has been.

An Elf wailed with despair and I ran to her as soon as possible, squeezing between the Elves that had gathered around her to see a stack of presents that had somehow gone unnoticed.

“These were supposed to go to the Orphanage in New York!” An Elf in the group said.

“Santa’s halfway around the world by now, there’s no way he can finish all the other house’s and still deliver these.” One of the Elves who had been at the map said.

“One of us could deliver these, but the only Reindeer who was left cannot carry both an Elf and all of these presents!” Another Elf wailed. I was listening calmly, thinking fast. Maybe the reindeer couldn’t carry a normal sized elf, but maybe he could just make it with me.

There was no time to explain, she quickly I put the present’s in a small sack and ran to the barn to the only Reindeer left. Dasher. He had been left due to a sprained leg, though when I asked him about taking me to the Orphanage he agreed to take me saying he’d do his best to get me there in time.

Within moments we were high above the clouds, racing to the Orphanage. We were flying only an hour or so before we were there, and I quickly went down the chimney and delivered the presents before sunrise. When I returned Santa was there waiting for me.

“Psyche, you have turned out to be my biggest helper and you’ve saved Christmas.” He said proudly.

"Momma always said good children get toys and trinkets, and the bad children get eaten up by monsters."
The little boy watched all of their faces change in surprise when they gasped at the ideas of monsters, and children being gobbled right up. He was furled up in a blanket, and their little circle of kids, all hidden by the darkness of the room and lit up by the lantern light, sat there. There they were, quietly speaking of stories, neither true nor fake.

Suddenly, the shutters shook from the terrible storm outside, and the young children jumped, every one of them huddling just a little bit closer in that circle of theres. "Do you think your Momma's going to come back Tinsel?" The boy stoped and thought then, nodding as if he understood it all, said, "Yes." A smile formed onto his face. "I think so, if we're all good children, they all must come back."

"Now, about these monsters... Momma said that they're as clear as the snow, with... With big sharp teeth, and eyes as hot as fire. And Momma says that if you're not careful, they'll come in with a storm... 'brewin' Momma says, and take away the children in the dark." He curled up tighter in the blanket, getting cozy and warm with them the crowd, as some just slowly realized that 'children' meant them.

"But we'll be alright, we'll be good and nice, and get gifts! We won't be eaten up by monsters." The group mutually nodded, some smiling, some clapping and laughing excitedly at what anyone outside of that building would consider nothing but air.

As more stories were told and hours passed by, all of the children slowly fell into sleep. Except for the little boy with the name of Tinsel, as odd as that name may be. He waited patiently, head drearily bobbing.

The wooden door opened, creaking awkwardly, to reveal a tall women bundled up in winter clothes returning from her journey. The chill of winter, the strength of the storm was still in her vision as she stared down at the little group, all coddled together on the ground, even though beds were presented.

As the women unbuttoned her winter coat she smiled, "Did you tell them stories again this year?" Little Tinsel nodded. "Well then," She knelt down, staring at him. "I guess you saved Christmas for all of us." Patting his head, ruffling up his hair, the lady watched as a grin formed onto his face. "I went and talked to Santa, and good thing too. Because, he told me that he couldn't have made it this far in the horrible weather, even with good ol' Rudolph. So, I brought you all your presents my little helper. Santa told me to say to you that you're a good boy, I think you made everyone from forget about the bad weather, me not being there, and late presents."


Sitting with him, beside the huddle, she stroked his head.

[ hermey's job as a helper ] :: "He's the tinker of the elves, constantly finding the most innovative ways to save time going around the globe delivering presents. Unlike the master toy-makers he's descended from, and despite his talent at making toys very quickly, he hated just making the same thing over and over again. One day, his father caught him fussing over blueprints and was amazed at what he saw. Streamlined and modern sleigh designs, innovative and high-tech toys, the idea for a whole new wing dedicated to giving the pets around the world presents ; all Hermey's ideas. So, with Santa's agreement, he was declared the head of a new league of elves. A new legacy was born amongst elf-kind. And it was all because of Hermey!"
[ how did Hermey save christmas? ] :: "Whistling sounds rushed through the North Pole. Being the magical being Santa Claws, with christmas magic assistance, must've gone to his head. Let's start the story at the very beginning, shall we? Though signs pointed to terrible Christmas Eve, most of them were convinced that they could pull through and Santa agreed. The forecast on their weather station had quite a bit on the radar, but that fooled them. Right after they left, an even worse storm blew on their trail from the opposite pole. Even worse, they were going from the south up this year. Sirens blared as their high tech sleigh was zapped by the lighting of the Southern Hemisphere's pouring rain. Even with Rudolph's glowy nose, the Plumerians who made Christmas possible were stranded. The sleigh wasn't built for that kind of weather."

"Hermey leaped into action, leading the rest of the elves. Though the prototype of the newer sleigh was shaky, it was the only one that stood a chance against the storm. Taking the best reindeer they had still at HQ, they took off for the south. Presents were given along the way. By the time that the others were rescued, large parts of the world were already done. Santa Claws praised his head elf for his bravery, determination, and even just for the general hard work this year. He was even named 'Elf of the Year'!"
