Santa climbed back into the sleigh and pulled the hat down lower over his ears. It was cold, but then it usually is on Christmas Eve. Grabbing the reins tightly in both hands, he gave the order.

"Go Dasher, fly Dancer, Prancer and Vixen, let's go Comet, Cupid, up and away Donder and Blitzen."

With that, the team began running along the rooftop, faster and faster until the sleigh, pulled by Rudolph and eight other reindeer, glided effortlessly and silently into the cold night sky.

Then disaster struck.

Prancer cried out in pain and the sleigh wobbled. Santa wrestled with the reins as they started to lose height. He managed to get it under control and landed safely on the street below. Santa jumped from his seat and ran over to Prancer, whose knee was badly swollen. Santa Claus grabbed some snow and rubbed it on the knee, his usually jolly face now looking a touch concerned. "I think that is the end of your Christmas Eve Prancer," said Santa, rubbing the fur between his antlers.

"Oh dear," said Rudolph. "What are we going to do?"

Santa thought for a moment, then a smile appeared back on his rosy red face.

"I have a plan."
