Moonstone Marina stares at advent calendar door eighteen with curiosity. It is green with white and red stars. What can be behind? Slowly she opens the door, savouring the moment.
A beautiful piece of mistletoe confronts her, shining with golden stars around it. She gasps in heartfelt delight.
Tentatively, she touches the mistletoe, then picks it up. A warmth courses through her body.
The fairies crowd round as she returns to ground level. The stars twirl around the mistletoe, little Christmas moments, microcosms of magic.
Then the mistletoe begins to grow. The fairies stare, transfixed. Faster and faster it grows until it towers above the fairies, then it erupts in to many smaller mistletoe pieces: the exact amount for all the fairies to have one each!
Stars fly between all the mistletoes, and then gather in a small cloud of light and fly to the Christmas Tree, where they take up residence.
The fairies clutch their new presents happily, and then begin to dance. Let the mistletoe party begin!
Dancing continues on in to the night, and as dusk comes the glade is lit up by twinkling stars and the magic pine cones on the Christmas Tree. In the morning, a pile of mistletoe brightens up the foot of the Christmas Tree, and the glade is ready for yet more Christmas fun.
