Santa's New Suit

A magical Christmas-read for all the family and a real festive favourite.Santa needs a new suit, a marvellous magical whistle and flute. All the elves have their say - they even paint Santa's sleigh. The suit they design makes Santa look like a real wizard; it can protect him from any blizzard. The suit looks so different from before, the coat almost reaching the floor. The elves decide he needs new boots and a hat, and soon see to that. Santa thinks the suit's a winner and enjoys broccoli and sprouts with his dinner. Read on to see that by putting a coloured ribbon on your tree, you can let Santa know how you want him to be.
