1. The Christmystery

In the small village of Fairfield, miles away from the nearest town, lived Victor. He loved it there so far from everywhere else. He loved waving good morning to his neighbours as he left his house to go to school each day. And when he got there, he loved seeing his friends too. But more than anything else in Fairfield, Victor loved what happened every December.

Not a lot happened in Fairfield most of the year, but as soon as there was the faintest chill in the air, it transformed from a quiet, little collection of streets and shops into a full blown winter wonderland!

Today was the 20th of December which meant that it was only five days until Christmas. Victor couldn’t wait. He was pulling on his boots and zipping up his big, puffy jacket, ready for Elisa, who would be walking past his house any moment now.

Elisa and Victor always walked to school together, but the past twenty days, they had walked together the long way, looking up with glee at all the decorations hanging from the streetlights and filling the neighbours’ gardens. The postbox at the end of the street had been given white, furry flourishes, so that its red colour now made it look like a giant Father Christmas hat!
