Shoemaker and the Elves

As the grandfather clock struck midnight the elves began pouting in thru the window. To their surprise and delight they found clothes and shoes on the table. They each dressed quickly and used the frosted windows as mirrors to check their new outfits. The elves danced around the room singing and laughing. All night long they danced and sang. Just before morning they threw open the door and ran, jumped, skipped or flew away into the dawn.
