Synopsis

Bella made Christmas decorations, sung carols and even met Santa Claus, but that wasn't Christmas! She baked mince pies, iced the cake and decorated the tree, but that wasn't Christmas either. Bella bought presents for mum and dad, hung Christmas nuts for the birds and made a snowman, and still Christmas hadn't arrived. She left a glass a wine for Santa Claus, a carrot for the reindeer and hung her stocking up. Was that Christmas?
