1. The Fir Tree

Hans Christian Anderson is the author of "The Fir Tree." The budding fir tree in this short Christmas story aspires to mature quickly. The tree is infatuated with the notion of maturing and becomes agitated when someone points out its small size. The small tree is chopped down to use as a Christmas tree one fine day. On Christmas Eve, it is transported to a residence where it is decked with toys, candy, colored apples, and a gold star. Youngsters come to play around the tree and take the candy off of it. After being moved into the attic the following day, the tree is now by itself. The tree is left alone while the rats come and go.

Finally, in the spring, the small fir tree is brought to a yard, chopped, and set ablaze. This is the way a small tree's life ends. 

2. The Red-Nosed Reindeer Story

This Christmas story is of Rudolph, who had a big red shiny nose, and other Rudolphs used to laugh at him. One day, he went to Santa for work. After hearing all this, other Rudolphs started laughing and said that kids would get scared after seeing his big, shiny nose of Rudolph. On getting to know about what other Rudolphs said about him, he got sad and went home. 

When Santa was about to leave for the gift distribution, there was heavy storming, making it difficult for Santa to depart. However, he thought that "Kids will get sad if I don't go for distribution. At that moment, Santa remembered Rudolph's shiny red nose and called him for help. The little Rudolph was happy to help Santa, and after all this, the distribution was done successfully. Rudolph was also pleased that he came to help Santa. This is how the shiny big-nose Rudolph became the youngest reindeer to join Santa's Sleigh team.

3. The Elves and Shoemaker

A poor shoemaker used to live in the town with his wife, and nobody used to buy shoes from him. One fine day, he purchased a cloth and put it on the table, thinking he would stitch it the following day. When he woke up, the shoemaker was amazed as the shoe was kept on the table, and a merchant was standing there to buy it. With the help of that sale, he bought 2 pairs of clothes and put them on the table. And yet, he was confused about how the show was made all alone. One fine night he and his wife choose to investigate how the shoes are getting made all alone. They found out that 4 Elves made the shoes for them.

Every night those elves would come to their house and before morning, they completed stitching of shoes. On knowing this, the shoemaker and his wife were very happy and surprised at the same time. So, he and his wife decided to gift those elves with something. They made the cutest pair of clothes and shoes & left it on the table. The happy Elves took those present the following day and never returned.
