Little fat Robin was exceptionally pleased with her Robin jumper.

What other kind of jumper would anyone want to wear at Christmas?

He smiles the smile of a Cheshire cat when he wears his Christmas jumper!

In the glow of sunset on Christmas eve Comet revealed this year’s jumper to Father Christmas.

And, whilst Santa was flattered, he had to muster up all his diplomacy, for he is a kind man, to say how much of a lovely tribute it was to him.

Comet knew it was an awful jumper and giggled to himself as he watched the boss struggle to come up with a compliment.

He did this every year.

Peter, the monkey Captain’s brother, really loves the jumper that Captain stitched for him whilst out on the wild seas. Every Christmas he puts it on, toasts the Captain and thinks about where his adventures could have taken him this year.

Unlike the Captain Peter get violently sick at sea so remains in the jungle looking for his own adventures from tree to tree.

Here’s first in the series of 5 creatures in their favourite Christmas jumpers.

Bernard got his favourite jumper in 1989 from his aunty Gladys. He loves the detailed stitch work and has worn it every December since.

And finally Father Christmas stood up, amongst the bluster, and pointed, saying,
“Mr Arctic Fox will you be my right hand creature for Christmas?”

Mr Fox gasped with surprise and replied, “Of course sir, I’d be honoured.”

There was a short pause and then a massive cheer from all the other woodland creatures except Penguin and Polar Bear, who were exceptionally miffed to say the least.

The arctic Mole leapt up in joy. “hurrah for Fox. What an amazing chap!” he cried.

Santa watched as the arctic Fox gave out his first present to arctic Hare. He had made up his mind. Fox was going to be his new right hand creature for this Christmas.

In the midst of all the showboating and attention seeking Father Christmas’ eye was drawn to a lonely artctic fox quietly wrapping presents with a large smile on his face. Santa had an important decision to make and, at last, he was ready to make his decision.

From the other side of the hill Hendrick the penguin was vying for Father Christmas’ attention.

Santa again eyed this show off with suspicion.

As Father Christmas looked up to pick a new number one right hand toy Roberto gave the nod to his accomplice to switch on the lights and make it seem like the roguish polar bear would be a devine choice. Santa looked on suspiciously.
