Santa's Sleigh Is on Its Way to My House
It's a magical Christmas Eve, and all of the children in your town are sleeping. Well, all of the children but you! How could you possibly fall asleep when you know Santa and his sleigh are on their way?

Dracula's Guest and Other Weird Stories is a collection of short stories by Bram Stoker, first published in 1914, two years after Stoker's death.
Dracula's Guest follows an Englishman (whose name is never mentioned) as he wanders around Munich before leaving for Transylvania. It is Walpurgis Night, and in spite of the coachman's warnings, the young man foolishly leaves his hotel and wanders through a dense forest alone. Stories in this collection include Dracula's guest -- The judge's house -- The squaw -- The secret of the growing gold -- The gipsy prophecy -- The coming of Abel Behenna, and more.
Little Scot is quite a tot—he lives in a flowerpot! Little Dot is quite a tot—she lives inside a big teapot! This tale of budding friendship and appreciation of differences sure hits the spot!
