Ginger's Giggles and Gifts

Once upon a twinkling snow, in a cozy village aglow, there lived a gingerbread cookie named Ginger, delightful and sweet, as light as a feather!

By her side were five fabulous pals, always together, through all the week's trials: Willie the Whimsical Woodchuck, Dotty the Daring Dove, Benny the Bold Bear, Lulu the Laughing Lily, and Tom the Tickling Toad.

"Let's give Ginger a present," Willie said with glee. Each friend nodded, agreeing heartily.
