The Story of the Magic Christmas Pixies

Aunt Karen & Uncle Brooks gave each of the kids a Pixie ornament while in CT, and I told Savannah they were the magic Christmas pixies. Of course, Savannah wanted to know the "story" of these pixies. So, this is what I came up with:
 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Along time ago, before the first Christmas, Santa was planning to fly around the world to give every child a toy. He needed something to pull his sleigh, and reindeer made the most sense off all the animals at the north pole (bunnies are too small, polar bears too big). Because reindeer don't fly, Santa knew he needed some magic. So, he took a trip to the Princess Fairy - who is the head of all fairies -- to ask for some magic pixie dust. The Princess Fairy decided that in addition to the water fairies, tinker fairies, and flower fairies,  there would now be Christmas pixie fairies who would live in the north pole, and whose job would be to make the magic pixie dust to make Santa's reindeer fly.  The pixies would collect Christmas snow (which we all know is magic because of Frosty the Snowman), and turn it into pixie dust that makes reindeer fly. And so, that has been the job of the Christmas pixies for hundred of years. The Christmas pixies are the fairies that help to make reindeer fly, and make it possible for Santa to give gifts to all the kids around the world!
