Where is Father Christmas? Hamish was going on a very special Christmas Eve visit to the farm with his Mum and Dad. He decided on the way there that he was going to look for Father Christmas! The frst animals they saw were the Ducks. They were all happily swimming in their pond even though it was very cold. One of the ducks waddled over and introduced himself to Hamish. “Hello” quacked the duck. “I am Hubert the duck” “Hello” said Hamish. “I’m Hamish, nice to meet you. Have you seen Father Christmas today, I’m trying to fnd him”. “Oh he was here a few minutes ago with our presents” said Hubert “but he said he was of to see the pigs”. So Hamish rushed of to the pig pen. It was very smelly and muddy but the pigs seemed very happy. One of the piglets came over and snorted at Hamish. “Hello” snufed the piglet. “My name is Sarah. Who are you?” “Hello” said Hamish. “I’m Hamish, nice to meet you. Have you seen Father Christmas today, I’m trying to fnd him”. “Oh he was here just now delivering our presents” said Sarah “but he said he was of to see the horses”. Hamish ran all the way to the horse’s feld. They were jumping over hay bales to keep warm, but one litle foal came to say hello. “Hello” neighed the foal “My name is Sally. What’s your name?” “I’m Hamish and I’m looking for Father Christmas. Have you seen him?” “Yes, you just missed him. He’s gone to give the cows their presents”. Oh No! thought Hamish, I’m going to miss him. He rushed over to the cow pen and headed straight over to a litle calf standing on his own by the shed door. “Can you help me?” asked Hamish “I’m looking for Father Christmas. Have you seen him?”

“Yes he was just here and gave us all our presents. He said he had delivered all the presents on the farm and was now going to your house to deliver yours!” “Thank you” he yelled as he ran out of the cow pen and back to his Mum. “Come on Mum, we have to go home now, Father Christmas is on his way!” They raced home and Hamish ran upstairs and got ready for bed quicker than ever before! He jumped into bed and closed his eyes tghtly so he could get to sleep before Father Christmas arrived. He just hoped the ducks, pigs, horses and cows were right about where he was heading next! In the morning, there was a pile of presents at the botom of his bed just as the farm animals had promised. “Thanks Santa” he whispered. “See you next year!”
