Eight Days before Christmas

Is it possible Christmas could be cancelled this year because Santa has a boil on his rear? With the pain in his bum he can’t fly his sled. No pressies for children and Christmas is dead. Elves have just eight days to find Santa a cure. If they don’t come up trumps Chrissy’s finished for sure. The elves find a book with the answer they think. It will cure Santa’s boil in less time than a blink. But the treatments are all quite bizarre, strange and weird. None are successful – Santa finished it’s feared. Just in time Mrs Claus appears on the scene. Can she save Christmas with measures so mean that the elves are changed from small, cute and nice, to real tough, hard dudes – but is it worth the price?

Possibly the longest, funniest Christmas poem for ages 9-14 years. Ideal for teachers to read to their class over several days as a lead up to the Christmas holidays. The cures the elves try are strange and humorous and have disastrous results. Enter Mrs Claus who has a novel way to save Christmas which is even more bizarre than the elves’ cures and has even more disastrous results. Fortunately Christmas is saved for years to come.
