Christmas Eve in the Forest

Now that Christmas Eve has finally arrived all the little animals are too excited to sleep

They meet around the tree and tell each other what they hope Father Christmas is going to bring them.

The Badger family have to do some last minute preparations and hang the wreath on the door

The hedgehog skates past and finds he doesn't know how to stop without falling over and the bunny is out collecting holly to make into table decorations.

Now, much later the young animals have gone to bed and although they had planned to stay awake to see Santa, have now all dropped off to sleep.

One group of animals though, remember the true meaning of Christmas and celebrate the birth of Jesus.
