Once upon a time, in a deep forest, there lived an elf named Elfie. Elfie loved Christmas and wanted to spread the joy of the holiday season to everyone in the forest. So, she came up with a plan to build a holiday resort in the heart of the forest.
She gathered all the workers in the forest and asked them to build wooden cabins for the visitors. They worked hard day and night and finally, the resort was ready just in time for Christmas.
The first visitors to the holiday resort were a group of animals from the forest. They were amazed by the beautiful cabins and the festive decorations. Elfie took them on a tour of the resort and showed them all the fun activities they could do, like decorating cookies and singing Christmas carols.
The animals had so much fun that they didn’t want to leave. They even asked Elfie if they could come back next Christmas. Elfie was overjoyed and said, “Of course! You are always welcome here.”
From that day on, the holiday resort became a tradition in the forest, and every Christmas, the animals would gather there to celebrate the holiday season with Elfie and all the workers. And they all lived happily ever after.
