A Mouse's Christmas Eve Coloring Pages

Coloring page story

Pip the mouse lived behind the wall in a cozy little house. On Christmas Eve, he heard a strange sound. Thump, bump, thump.

He peeked out of his little mouse-hole. He saw two enormous, shiny black boots standing by the fireplace! Then, he heard a quiet "Ho ho ho."

A hand as big as Pip’s whole house placed a bright red present under the tree. A tiny crumb from a cookie fell to the floor. When the big boots were gone, Pip scurried out and nibbled the crumb. It was the most delicious, most magical crumb he had ever tasted.
