Speaker 1: Hi, and welcome to Coco Sleep, a brand new podcast
00:00:14
Speaker 1: of original children's bedtime stories designed to make bedtime a dream.
00:00:21
Speaker 1: If you like this podcast and enjoy falling asleep to
00:00:24
Speaker 1: our stories, please feel free to tell your friends because
00:00:28
Speaker 1: they might enjoy falling asleep too them. Two tonight, we're
00:00:32
Speaker 1: getting into the Christmasy mood as we head back into
00:00:36
Speaker 1: sleepy forest on a snowy Christmas Eve and visit the
00:00:40
Speaker 1: home of our little friend. Do you remember him. It's Coco,
00:00:45
Speaker 1: the youngest Koala in his family. We join him as
00:00:49
Speaker 1: he catches the sound of distant jingle bells ringing through
00:00:52
Speaker 1: the forest. As he follows the sound, the little Koala
00:00:57
Speaker 1: is led to a very special person. Just before we
00:01:03
Speaker 1: get all Christmas Eve, take a little time to snuggle
00:01:06
Speaker 1: down into your bed and make yourself as comfortable as
00:01:11
Speaker 1: you can. Loosen your legs and twist your wrists, wiggle
00:01:18
Speaker 1: your fingers and toes, and then snuggle down a little
00:01:24
Speaker 1: bit more, close your eyes and take some deep, relaxing breaths.
00:01:36
Speaker 1: And now let's settle into tonight's story. Cocos Cozy Christmas
00:01:42
Speaker 1: Buy Jillian Rogerson. He was Christmas Eve and snow had
00:01:52
Speaker 1: been falling softly all day on sleepy forest. The snowflakes
00:01:58
Speaker 1: settled on a cozy cabin that lay deep in the
00:02:01
Speaker 1: heart of the forest. Inside the cabin lived a family
00:02:06
Speaker 1: of Koalas. The youngest Koala was called Cocoa. On that
00:02:13
Speaker 1: snowy eve, the Koala family were busy making final preparations
00:02:18
Speaker 1: for Christmas Day. Grandpa and Grandma Koala were in the
00:02:23
Speaker 1: kitchen baking tantalizing treats. The delicious aroma of nutmegs, cinnamon,
00:02:29
Speaker 1: and gingerbread drifted through the cozy cabin. Father Koala had
00:02:35
Speaker 1: been busy all day chopping wood for the fire. He
00:02:39
Speaker 1: wanted to make sure the family would keep snug and
00:02:42
Speaker 1: warm during the chilly winter months. Once he chopped enough logs,
00:02:47
Speaker 1: he had placed them in a neat pile next to
00:02:50
Speaker 1: the cabin. Father Koala took some logs into the home
00:02:54
Speaker 1: and put them into a basket at the side of
00:02:56
Speaker 1: the fireplace. Some pieces of wood were already alight in
00:03:01
Speaker 1: the grate, and the soothing sounds of crackling logs added
00:03:06
Speaker 1: to the comforting atmosphere and the home. Amber and orange
00:03:11
Speaker 1: flames danced merrily over the spruce scented wood mother Koalo,
00:03:18
Speaker 1: was sitting in an armchair near the window and had
00:03:22
Speaker 1: a colorful collection of wool at her side. She was
00:03:26
Speaker 1: putting the final touches on the many gifts she'd made
00:03:29
Speaker 1: for her family and friends. Every time someone in the
00:03:34
Speaker 1: cabin approached her, they were told to close their eyes
00:03:38
Speaker 1: so as not to spoil their surprise. The following morning,
00:03:42
Speaker 1: Little Coco was in charge of decorations, and he had
00:03:47
Speaker 1: been busy for days making sure the family home looked
00:03:50
Speaker 1: as magical as it possibly could. Coco stood in the
00:03:55
Speaker 1: middle of the room and looked at the decorations to
00:03:59
Speaker 1: ensure there was enough festive cheer. Glittering garlands of gold
00:04:04
Speaker 1: and silver tinsel looped through the green branches of the
00:04:09
Speaker 1: Christmas tree, Sparkling ball balls dangled from the end of branches,
00:04:15
Speaker 1: and homemade crackers nestled between pine scented boughs. A large
00:04:22
Speaker 1: silver star made out of card stood proudly on top
00:04:27
Speaker 1: of the tree. Coco had made the star when he
00:04:33
Speaker 1: was very young, and even though it was lopsided and
00:04:37
Speaker 1: most of the glitter had fallen off, his family insisted
00:04:41
Speaker 1: the star take pride of place on the tree every year.
00:04:47
Speaker 1: With help from his father, Coco had hung red and
00:04:51
Speaker 1: green paper chains around the house. Homemade paper snowflakes decorated
00:04:58
Speaker 1: every window, making the inside of the cabin look as
00:05:03
Speaker 1: enchanting as the snow covered forest outside. The family continued
00:05:10
Speaker 1: with their activities, and soon the light of day gave
00:05:14
Speaker 1: way to the pink glow of dusk. Outside. The snow
00:05:20
Speaker 1: continued to silently fall and covered sleepy forest in a
00:05:25
Speaker 1: glittering white blanket. Co Ko pressed his nose against the
00:05:31
Speaker 1: window and gazed at the snowy sky. Snowflakes fluttered gently downwards,
00:05:42
Speaker 1: Some got caught in a breeze and were taken up,
00:05:45
Speaker 1: before pausing and drifting downwards once more. A large snowflake
00:05:52
Speaker 1: landed on the window. Coco gazed at the intricate pattern
00:05:57
Speaker 1: of the flake and marveled how wonderful it was. His
00:06:03
Speaker 1: grandpa had told him that every snowflake was different and
00:06:09
Speaker 1: no two were the same. For Coco, that had only
00:06:15
Speaker 1: added to the magic of snow. Grandpa came to his
00:06:20
Speaker 1: side and put his arm around the little Koala. Coco asked, Grandpa,
00:06:29
Speaker 1: do you think Santa will be okay in the snow?
00:06:33
Speaker 1: He's been falling all day? Will he still find his
00:06:37
Speaker 1: way here and to everyone else in the forest. With
00:06:42
Speaker 1: a smile, Grandpa replied, Santa always finds his way, no
00:06:49
Speaker 1: matter how deep the snow. He tilted his head to
00:06:54
Speaker 1: the side. Did you hear that? Coco hadn't heard any,
00:07:01
Speaker 1: but he tilted his head just as Grandpa had done.
00:07:05
Speaker 1: Grandpa said, there it is again, the sound of distant
00:07:11
Speaker 1: bells jingling merrily. How peculiar, Cocoat, you've finished all the
00:07:17
Speaker 1: Christmas decorations. Why don't you go on a snowy adventure
00:07:22
Speaker 1: and find out where that noise is coming from. Wrap
00:07:26
Speaker 1: up warm, it is cold out there. Cocoa thought going
00:07:31
Speaker 1: on a snowy adventure was an excellent idea, and he
00:07:35
Speaker 1: liked the thought of solving a mystery at the end
00:07:38
Speaker 1: of it. He put his coat on and wrapped a
00:07:42
Speaker 1: scarf snugly around his neck. Grandpa reminded him to put
00:07:47
Speaker 1: on his hat and mittens took Ko was soon ready
00:07:53
Speaker 1: to set forth on his snowy quest. He stirred at
00:07:58
Speaker 1: the open door of the cabin and say good bye
00:08:01
Speaker 1: to his family. With loving smiles on their faces, they
00:08:06
Speaker 1: told him to enjoy the adventure. His father said he'd
00:08:11
Speaker 1: been on a similar journey when he was Ko Ko's age,
00:08:15
Speaker 1: and he'd discovered where the jingling bells were coming from,
00:08:19
Speaker 1: but he didn't want to spoil the surprise for Ko Ko.
00:08:25
Speaker 1: Grandpa and Grandma stood at the door and waved to
00:08:29
Speaker 1: Ko Ko as he walked down the steps and towards
00:08:32
Speaker 1: the path which led into the forest. As Ko Ko
00:08:38
Speaker 1: walked along, he looked back at his footprints in the snow.
00:08:44
Speaker 1: There were no other prints, only his, and it made
00:08:48
Speaker 1: the little Koala feel special to be out on such
00:08:52
Speaker 1: a magical night. Ko Ko continued walking through the deep,
00:08:59
Speaker 1: soft snow. Snowflakes fell softly upon his head and were
00:09:06
Speaker 1: as gentle as kisses. The snow beneath his feet sparkled
00:09:13
Speaker 1: and shimmered as though tiny twinkling stars had been sprinkled
00:09:19
Speaker 1: amongst the fallen flakes. Very soon, Coco heard the faint
00:09:25
Speaker 1: sound of tinkling bells. They were coming from the left
00:09:30
Speaker 1: hand side of the forest, Leaving the path behind. The
00:09:35
Speaker 1: little Koala followed the joyful noise. It took him near
00:09:41
Speaker 1: to the home of a rabbit family. As soon as
00:09:45
Speaker 1: he got closer to the rabbit's burrow, the bells stopped
00:09:50
Speaker 1: ringing Coco wondered why they had stopped. Perhaps he should
00:09:56
Speaker 1: ask the rabbit family if they had heard the bells
00:10:00
Speaker 1: and if they knew where they were coming from. As
00:10:04
Speaker 1: Ko Ko was thinking that, the mother rabbit popped her
00:10:08
Speaker 1: head out of the burrow and said hello to him.
00:10:13
Speaker 1: Ko Ko asked if she'd heard the jangling bells. She
00:10:17
Speaker 1: said she hadn't, but warmly invited ko Ko into her home.
00:10:23
Speaker 1: She told him Santa had just delivered some special gifts
00:10:27
Speaker 1: for her family, and she'd love to share them with
00:10:30
Speaker 1: ko Ko. Ko Ko followed her into the burrow and
00:10:36
Speaker 1: entered the living room, where a crackling fire lit up
00:10:40
Speaker 1: the faces of the younger rabbits, who were cuddled together
00:10:44
Speaker 1: on the sofa. Over their knees was a blanket that
00:10:50
Speaker 1: was the color of the midnight sky. Tiny silver sequins
00:10:55
Speaker 1: around the edge of the blanket glimmered and glittered in
00:11:00
Speaker 1: the reflected light of the fire. The mother rabbit insisted
00:11:06
Speaker 1: k Ko stay for a while and told her children
00:11:10
Speaker 1: to shuffle along the sofa to make room for him.
00:11:15
Speaker 1: She went into the kitchen to make some hot drinks.
00:11:20
Speaker 1: Ko Ko took off his outdoor clothes before joining the
00:11:24
Speaker 1: cozy group on the sofa. The smallest rabbit told Ko
00:11:30
Speaker 1: Ko the blanket was a gift from Santa, and no
00:11:34
Speaker 1: matter how many animals were on the sofa, the blanket
00:11:38
Speaker 1: was somehow big enough for them all. The rabbit whispered,
00:11:44
Speaker 1: I think it's a magic blanket. Coco snuggled further beneath
00:11:51
Speaker 1: the navy colored covering. It felt as soft as a
00:11:55
Speaker 1: cloud and as warm as his grandma's hugs. Mother rabbit
00:12:05
Speaker 1: walked towards the group carrying a tray. She said to Cocoa,
00:12:12
Speaker 1: as well as that lovely blanket, Santa left us a
00:12:16
Speaker 1: huge tin of hot chocolate, and I've used it to
00:12:19
Speaker 1: make drinks for us. Cocoa, I hope you like hot chocolate.
00:12:26
Speaker 1: She passed a mug to the coala. The chocolate he
00:12:30
Speaker 1: drink was topped with whipped cream and pink snowflake shaped
00:12:35
Speaker 1: marshmallows nestled on top of the cream. Cocoa thanked the
00:12:41
Speaker 1: mother rabbit and said he loved hot chocolate, especially when
00:12:46
Speaker 1: it was snowing. He wrapped his paws around the cup
00:12:52
Speaker 1: and took a small sip. The creamy hot chocolate was
00:12:57
Speaker 1: the perfect temperature, so he took a bigger drink. The
00:13:02
Speaker 1: velvety liquid flowed through his body, making him feel all
00:13:07
Speaker 1: warm and happy inside. From the contented smiles on the
00:13:13
Speaker 1: rabbit's faces, he could tell they felt just as peaceful
00:13:19
Speaker 1: and happy as he did. Coco could have stayed snuggled
00:13:25
Speaker 1: under the soft blanket, drinking delicious hot chocolate all night,
00:13:31
Speaker 1: but something caught his attention. Over the gentle crackle of
00:13:37
Speaker 1: the fire and the soft chatter of the rabbits, he
00:13:42
Speaker 1: heard the distant sound of the bells again. They sounded
00:13:47
Speaker 1: merry and joyful, and it felt like they were calling
00:13:51
Speaker 1: him closer. Coco knew he had to find out where
00:13:58
Speaker 1: the sound was coming from. He finished the last of
00:14:04
Speaker 1: his hot chocolate and took his empty cup into the kitchen.
00:14:10
Speaker 1: He thanked the family for their kindness and wished them
00:14:14
Speaker 1: a merry Christmas. He wrapped up warmly and left the burrow,
00:14:20
Speaker 1: giving the rabbits a final wave and another thank you. Outside,
00:14:28
Speaker 1: the snow had stopped falling and the air was wonderfully
00:14:32
Speaker 1: chilly and crisp. Coco felt cozy and snug in his
00:14:38
Speaker 1: comfy coat. He pushed his mitten clad paws deeper into
00:14:44
Speaker 1: his pockets. A robin alighted on a branch at his
00:14:49
Speaker 1: side and started singing a soft serenade. The tinkling tones
00:14:59
Speaker 1: of the bells could be heard more clearly now, and
00:15:03
Speaker 1: ko Ko followed the melody as he walked over the
00:15:08
Speaker 1: freshly fallen snow, leaving his prince behind. The chiming bells
00:15:16
Speaker 1: led him to a clearing in the forest where a
00:15:20
Speaker 1: group of dormice were gathered. They were looking into the
00:15:25
Speaker 1: trees ahead of them and seemed to be waiting for
00:15:30
Speaker 1: something to happen. Ko Ko stood at the back of
00:15:34
Speaker 1: the group and asked what they were doing. We're waiting
00:15:39
Speaker 1: for the magic to begin. One of the dormice replied,
00:15:45
Speaker 1: Santa's just been to see us. He said, He's left
00:15:50
Speaker 1: us a gift to help our families find their way
00:15:54
Speaker 1: through the snow to our hose. He told us to
00:15:59
Speaker 1: watch the trees and wait for our magical gift to appear.
00:16:05
Speaker 1: Coco wondered what the gift could be, so he looked
00:16:09
Speaker 1: at the trees too. The background sound of bells fell silent,
00:16:16
Speaker 1: and for a few minutes there was nothing but a
00:16:20
Speaker 1: peaceful hush and a calm silence. There was an air
00:16:27
Speaker 1: of happy anticipation as everyone waited for something wonderful to happen.
00:16:36
Speaker 1: Very soon the magic began. The dormice and co Ko
00:16:43
Speaker 1: watched in wonder as one by one, floating strings of
00:16:49
Speaker 1: fairy lights glided through the air and festooned themselves between
00:16:55
Speaker 1: branches and around tree trunks. Soft pinks, greens, blues, and
00:17:04
Speaker 1: purples now lit up the snow top trees, making them
00:17:10
Speaker 1: glow gently. Pastel Hewed snowflakes started to drift down from
00:17:19
Speaker 1: the dark sky, and they are lighted on the snowy ground,
00:17:25
Speaker 1: where they glowed brightly like stars. The pathways to the
00:17:32
Speaker 1: homes of the waiting dormice were now clear to see,
00:17:36
Speaker 1: and within seconds the first visitors began to appear. They
00:17:42
Speaker 1: walked through the brightly lit trees and were greeted with
00:17:46
Speaker 1: hugs and kisses by their waiting relatives. When the last
00:17:51
Speaker 1: of the guests had arrived, the door mice held hands
00:17:56
Speaker 1: and began to sing Christmas carols. K Ko joined in.
00:18:02
Speaker 1: He didn't know all the words, but he did his best.
00:18:07
Speaker 1: The joy and love on the faces of the singing
00:18:10
Speaker 1: dormice made ko Ko's heart feel as light as a feather,
00:18:16
Speaker 1: and he couldn't stop smiling. Once the singing had finished,
00:18:24
Speaker 1: the dormice invited Ko Ko into their homes for warm
00:18:28
Speaker 1: mince pies and a generous slice of chocolate yaw log.
00:18:35
Speaker 1: Co Ko was tempted, but then he heard the far
00:18:39
Speaker 1: off sound of the bells chiming again, and so politely
00:18:46
Speaker 1: said no to the kind dormice. They told him he
00:18:51
Speaker 1: was welcome to stop by the following day and perhaps
00:18:57
Speaker 1: he could bring his family to ko Ko thanked them
00:19:03
Speaker 1: for their kind offer. He wished them a merry Christmas,
00:19:08
Speaker 1: and then set off on his snowy adventure. Again. The
00:19:13
Speaker 1: bells were louder now, and he let the joyful tune
00:19:18
Speaker 1: guide his footsteps through sleepy forest. Ko Ko walked on
00:19:27
Speaker 1: and met many animals along the way. He stopped to
00:19:32
Speaker 1: chat with them and discovered Santa had left thoughtful gifts
00:19:38
Speaker 1: for all of them. A nightingale told Ko Ko that
00:19:45
Speaker 1: Santa had given her a song book because he knew
00:19:49
Speaker 1: how much she loved singing. She opened the book and
00:19:55
Speaker 1: sang one of the new tunes just for Coco. Her
00:20:01
Speaker 1: beautiful voice made him feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
00:20:09
Speaker 1: Coco met an elderly badger who adored the fragrance of
00:20:14
Speaker 1: summer roses. She showed Coco the rose scented candles Santa
00:20:21
Speaker 1: had given her and said, now she could enjoy the
00:20:26
Speaker 1: relaxing smell of her favorite flowers all year long. Her
00:20:35
Speaker 1: group of moles told Coko how delighted they were with
00:20:41
Speaker 1: the coal and carrots that Santa had given them. They
00:20:47
Speaker 1: explained how the gifts would be used to decorate the
00:20:52
Speaker 1: dozens of wonderful snow moles their youngsters had built during
00:20:58
Speaker 1: that very snowy day. They showed the line of snow
00:21:03
Speaker 1: malls to Cocoa, and he agreed they were extremely impressive.
00:21:11
Speaker 1: The coal eyes and carrot noses glimmered and twinkled and
00:21:17
Speaker 1: made the snow molls look even more enchanting. Each animal
00:21:26
Speaker 1: Coco met asked him into their homes to share the
00:21:31
Speaker 1: food and drink they prepared. Coco thanked them, but with
00:21:37
Speaker 1: regret he had to say no to their kind offers.
00:21:43
Speaker 1: He explained how he was on a quest to solve
00:21:47
Speaker 1: the mystery of the jingling bells, and he didn't want
00:21:51
Speaker 1: to stop until he found them. The little Koala walked
00:21:58
Speaker 1: on through the snow. He gazed upwards in wonder at
00:22:04
Speaker 1: the sparkling stars, and thought they seemed to be twinkling
00:22:10
Speaker 1: more brightly than ever before. The chiming bells guided Cocoa
00:22:19
Speaker 1: ever onwards. The light of the full moon sent dancing
00:22:25
Speaker 1: moonbeams across the snow, lighting the way for the little Koala.
00:22:34
Speaker 1: As he walked on, the tinkling bells grew louder and clearer.
00:22:41
Speaker 1: Their festive melody filled the winter air with joy. Cocoa
00:22:47
Speaker 1: knew he was heading in the right direction. Presently, a
00:22:55
Speaker 1: new noise joined the chimes. It was the distinctive sound
00:23:02
Speaker 1: of a man's voice, and he appeared to be chatting
00:23:07
Speaker 1: to someone. His voice was deep and full of joy,
00:23:13
Speaker 1: and he kept breaking into a cheery chuckle. Hoco walked
00:23:20
Speaker 1: around a snowy bend and discovered who was talking and chuckling.
00:23:28
Speaker 1: It was Santa. He was sitting on a snow blanketed
00:23:35
Speaker 1: log and speaking to his reindeer. He said they were
00:23:41
Speaker 1: doing a marvelous job that evening, and he was very
00:23:46
Speaker 1: proud of them. Santa looked over at Coco and gave
00:23:52
Speaker 1: him a beaming smile. Ah, Hello there, my Koala friend.
00:24:00
Speaker 1: It's co Ko, isn't it. What are you doing out
00:24:04
Speaker 1: on this fine Christmas Eve? I was following the sound
00:24:12
Speaker 1: of jingling bells, ko Ko explained. He smiled at Santa.
00:24:19
Speaker 1: It was hard not to because he had the jolliest
00:24:24
Speaker 1: face ko Ko had ever seen. Santa's tummy wobbled as
00:24:32
Speaker 1: he broke into another merry chuckle. That would be Rudolph Missus.
00:24:42
Speaker 1: Santa made him some new bells for his reins, and
00:24:46
Speaker 1: I think she may have put too many jingles in them.
00:24:51
Speaker 1: He's been shaking those bells all night. He can't resist
00:24:57
Speaker 1: a jingle. The red nosed reindeer looked at Coco and
00:25:05
Speaker 1: nodded as if to say that was correct. He shook
00:25:10
Speaker 1: his head and the bells on his reins jangled happily.
00:25:19
Speaker 1: Santa said to Coco, you're a long way from home.
00:25:25
Speaker 1: Would you like a lift back in my sleigh. Coco's
00:25:30
Speaker 1: eyes widened in surprise and delight. Really, I would love
00:25:37
Speaker 1: to thank you so much. Santa helped the young Koala
00:25:44
Speaker 1: into the sleigh and tucked a warm blanket around him.
00:25:50
Speaker 1: It was as soft and cozy as the one in
00:25:54
Speaker 1: the rabbit's home. Santa called out to his reindeer Dasha,
00:26:03
Speaker 1: Dancer Vixen and Prancer Comet Cupid Donna and blitzen Rudolph,
00:26:15
Speaker 1: are you ready? Away we go? The sleigh smoothly ascended
00:26:24
Speaker 1: into the night sky above the white fields. The sleigh soared.
00:26:32
Speaker 1: It flew over the tops of trees that were covered
00:26:37
Speaker 1: in sparkling snow, across frozen ponds and lakes. The sleigh went.
00:26:48
Speaker 1: Coco saw the reflection of the sleigh as it shimmered
00:26:53
Speaker 1: over the sparkling icy surfaces below them. Coco waved to
00:27:01
Speaker 1: those animals who were still awake. He called out a
00:27:06
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas to each one. Rudolph's tinkling bells mingled pleasantly
00:27:15
Speaker 1: with the tones of hooting owls and far away carols
00:27:21
Speaker 1: still being sung somewhere. The blanket around Cocoa felt warmer
00:27:31
Speaker 1: with every passing second. His eyes grew heavy and a soothing,
00:27:40
Speaker 1: drowsy feeling flowed through him. He leaned his head against
00:27:48
Speaker 1: Santa's shoulder as they continued on their airborne journey. It
00:27:56
Speaker 1: wasn't long before the familiar sight of Coco's cozy cabin
00:28:02
Speaker 1: came into view. His family were sitting on the swinging
00:28:09
Speaker 1: benches of the verandah and watching the night sky. Knitted
00:28:15
Speaker 1: covers lay over their knees. They didn't look at all
00:28:22
Speaker 1: surprised to see Cocoa flying home in Santa's sleigh. The
00:28:30
Speaker 1: sleigh came to a silent rest outside the cabin. Santa
00:28:38
Speaker 1: scooped the small Koala up and handed him over to
00:28:44
Speaker 1: the waiting arms of his grandpa. Santa pressed a gift
00:28:51
Speaker 1: into Coco's hands and said good night, Coco, Merry Christmas.
00:29:00
Speaker 1: Ko Ko let out a small yawn. Oh, Merry Christmas. Santa,
00:29:09
Speaker 1: thank you for bringing me home. Grandpa took k Ko
00:29:16
Speaker 1: inside and into his bedroom. He put him into bed
00:29:22
Speaker 1: and asked what Santa had given him. Ko Ko looked
00:29:28
Speaker 1: at the present. It was a snow globe. Inside the
00:29:34
Speaker 1: globe was a snow covered forest, and animals were standing
00:29:39
Speaker 1: amongst the trees. Ko Ko recognized all of the animals
00:29:47
Speaker 1: because he'd seen most of them that day. Looking closer
00:29:54
Speaker 1: at the globe, he saw a small sleigh sowing through
00:30:01
Speaker 1: the sky, a line of reindeers at the front, A
00:30:08
Speaker 1: miniature center was inside the sleigh, and next to Santa
00:30:16
Speaker 1: was a tiny Koala snuggled beneath a blue blanket. Coco
00:30:25
Speaker 1: gave the snow globe a gentle shake. The festive sound
00:30:32
Speaker 1: of jingling bells filled his room with Christmas magic, and
00:30:39
Speaker 1: inside the globe snow began to fall. Coco felt his
00:30:49
Speaker 1: eyes starting to close. He put the snow globe at
00:30:55
Speaker 1: the side of his bed and made himself more comfortable
00:31:00
Speaker 1: under the covers. One by one, his family came into
00:31:08
Speaker 1: the room, kissed him, and wished him a good night.
00:31:15
Speaker 1: As co Cho fell into a deep sleep, he thought
00:31:22
Speaker 1: he could still hear the sound of bells coming from far,
00:31:28
Speaker 1: far away. He mumbled sleepily, Merry Christmas, Santa.
