Custard, Boo, Crackers, James and Lizzie had the box of ornaments which they usually displayed across the mantelpiece, making little scenes of woodland animals and snowflakes. They had a great time dipping into the box and finding all their favourites. James especially loved the shining tinsel and made himself a necklace from it - just to check that it wasn't damaged of course!
Boo came across a small wooden chalet whose roof could be removed. "What's this for?" he asked Lizzie. "I think it's one of those smoking cottages," she replied. "We have some little scented cones which we can light and put on the metal base, and when we blow them out they go all smoky and we can put the cottage back over the base and the smoke swirls out of the chimney. It looks very realistic."
