This is the story of The Jingle Bell Monster
One cold, snowy night at the North Pole, Santa and Mrs. claus were relaxing by the fireplace...............
In the workshop, the elves were busy making Christmas toys for girls and boys all over the world.
Suddenly, from outside the window there came a frightful noise.."RRRR!! RRRR!!"
"Santa ! Santa ! Come Quick !" called the elves as they hurried to the workshop window to take a peek.
Santa Claus opened the front door ever so slightly, when a big hairy hand reached
inside... "RRRR!! RRRR!!"
The frightened elves dove for cover under the workbench. "Help ! Help !" they cried as the door swung open. There stood a big green furry monster wearing a red stocking cap with a bright silver bell jingling at the tip.
"Who are you?!! demanded Santa. "I'm The Jingle Bell Monster!" he growled, as he
grabbed Santa Claus by the belt "RRRR !! RRRR !!
The elves raced out from under the workbench to pull Santa free from The Jingle Bell
Monster. "Let Santa Go !" they shouted.
Mrs. Claus hurried from the kitchen, swinging a rolling pin over her head.
"Wait ! Wait ! Stop !" Santa exclaimed to Mrs. Claus and the Elves.
Then he turned and said, "Listen here, Jingle Bell Monster ! Christmas is coming and we have work to do. We must deliver all these toys to the girls and boys".
The Jingle Bell Monster loosened his grip and looked at the floor.
Santa continued, "Even if you are The Jingle Bell Monster, I won't let someone mean
stand in the way! We can't have children crying on Christmas day."
The Jingle Bell Monster raised his head. Big tears rolled down his furry cheek.
"Santa, I don't like being mean to everyone...But being mean is all I know how to do."
Santa placed his hand on The Jingle Bell Monster's shoulder.
"Come, sit with me by the fire. We'll think of something you can do that isn't mean".
He led The Jingle Bell Monster to the big soft chair in front of the fireplace. The elves pushed a large footstool under The Jingle Bell Monster's furry feet. Mrs. Claus brought in a warm plate of cookies and two steaming mugs of hot chocolate.
"Do you know how to make toys?" asked Santa. The Jingle Bell Monster sadly shook his head. "No" he said, jingling the silver bell on his red cap.
"Have you ever taken care of reindeer? asked Santa.
"No...They always run away from me", The Jingle Bell Monster sighed - jingling his silver bell again.
"Can you drive a sleigh? asked Santa.
"No"...The Jingle Bell Monster moaned - his jingle bell ringing louder than before.
"...MMM!" said Santa - stroking his fluffy white beard. Then, with a twinkle in his eye, Santa jumped to his feet. "I know! I know! I've got it! I do need someone to come along with me on Christmas eve to let the whole world know Santa Claus is on his way. Since you're The Jingle Bell Monster, you can ring the Jingle Bells!"
And for the very first time, The Jingle Bell Monster smiled. "Yes ! Yes! he shouted " jumping to his feet. "I am The Jingle Bell Monster!"
For one magical moment, the green fur of The Jingle Bell Monster began to turn as white and as pure as the new fallen Christmas snow - As if to tell the whole wide world that this was the beginning of a new way of life for The Jingle Bell Monster.
Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the elves cheered as they all danced merrily around their happy new friend.
The Jingle Bell Monster wasn't mean anymore.
