MEANWHILE BACK IN ENGLAND

Mark who lived in Croydon London had stepped out for the day to go and meet Miss Pat and Andrew for coffee and a movie. Dragonite the green dragon and his fluffy friends watched out the window until Mark was out of sight so they could find their new Christmas presents. They had been waiting for days for Mark to leave the house…

But when they scampered over to the tree…Shock! Horror! No presents! They looked everywhere. When they eventually stopped looking they decided  to ask for professional help but the crystal ball seemed to have no answers! So...

...They went to see Drogonite’s old friend the Dragon Master who was very wise and was able to tell them about the magic of Santa and point them in the right direction. The Dragon Master told them they had to climb high into the Christmas tree…

And look for the pink reindeer. Pinky Deer could contact Santa on a hot line and arrange for the furry friends to go to the magical workshop at the North Pole…

They all wished mighty hard for a chance to see Santa and as luck would have it, Santa magically whisked them away to his workshop.

Santa was very apologetic about their missing presents he had just become a little forgetful and had left them in his big red sack. So even though it was a little late the friends finally had a very happy Christmas in Croydon.

But over at Manny P. Bunny’s house in Essex things were very different. Manny had watched his mistress Miss Pat leave for coffee and a movie but Manny had no fluffy friends to play with unlike Drogonite and Helmut. So, as he was frozen to the bone, he tried snuggling up to Pat’s dog. 

It wasn’t long before Manny was almost bitten because the dog thought Manny was a chew toy. It's hard making friends with people thought Manny as he ran for his life! Hurriedly he climbed up the nearest mantelpiece and on arriving safely at the top, he found someone to keep him company - an ex-supermodel called Lulu. She wasn’t particularly fluffy but Manny didn’t mind. *wink*

Meanwhile back in Germany, while his friends were having adventures in London, dear old Ozziebear was nestled on Tommy Markstahler's tummy gently going up and down with every sigh - oblivious to the exciting adventure that lay ahead!
