Rhyming Countdown #4

For those of you who don't know, Tizzy picks out books for children.

As Frizzy tells Blizzy in Blizzy, the Worrywart Elf:

“Well, don’t forget, Blizz, that’s his job,” Frizzy smiled.
“Selecting the perfect Giftbooks for each child
For Santa to bring in his sleigh Christmas Eve.
To correctly select is hard work, I believe.”


Anyway, here is our Countdown Verse #4:

Only nine days remain until we are all done
And Tizzy is surely the busiest one.
For he has to do all his work in his head:
With thousands and thousands of books to be read!

(But he does love doing it!)

Christmas Countdown in Verse #3

Today we will focus on Frizzy a bit
Her new girl-type trucks seem to be a huge hit.
So now she is madly a-working away
To ready them all to arrive Christmas Day!

Christmas Eve Countdown: #2

You might have noticed that the first of our "advent" calendar poems we published yesterday was one day short of a regular advent calendar. That's because we Izzies are all about The Deadline, which for us is Christmas Eve. That is when we all stop working, help Santa load up the sleigh, and start celebrating.

This is not to say that we consider Christmas Day in any way unimportant!  No sirree! Christmas Day is what gives all of us our purpose in life.

Having said that, back to the Christmas Eve Countdown!  (Here's one about Blizzy!)


* * *

We are all quite amused to watch Blizzy the elf
Hang mistletoe bunches up all by herself.
And she's hung up so many that she cannot miss:
Her Tizzy will give her a mistletoe kiss!

#1 Counting down to Christmas in rhyme!


 We Izzies have decided to make a rhyming advent calendar to celebrate the season.

(You'd think we'd be too busy to fool around with this, but even elves have to take work breaks, you know!)


 Here's our first little effort:


‘Tis twelve days til Christmas and at the North Pole
We Izzies are working away, with one goal:
To make the right gifts for each child on the list.
(We want to make sure not a one has been missed.)

S.C. has examined each one of your letters
And scanned the web wishlists of online go-getters.
So our task is quite huge, and time’s wasting away.
We’d better get busy and fill Santa’s sleigh!


Much love,

Santa’s Izzy Elves

A real life boy talks about his ride in Santa's sleigh!

As some of you may know, several of our Izzy Elf adventures have included some of Deedy's (Dorothea Jensen to you) grandsons. Her oldest grandson, Stuart, (also known as the Senior Cousin) and his little brother, Drake, "star" in Dizzy's story (along with Dizzy himself, of course, not to mention Santa Claus).

Recently, Deedy interviewed Stuart about Dizzy, the Stowaway Elf, in which he, Drake, and Dizzy take a wild ride in Santa's sleigh.




Here is the magic link to watch this!

Enjoy!

Love,

Tizzy is Happy Now!

So Tizzy, who had mixed feelings about his story being given away for free, is now feeling much better. When he saw that hundreds and hundreds of people had downloaded Tizzy, the Christmas Shelf Elf during the recent giveaway, he actually felt PROUD!

He would like to thank everyone who did this. However, he does have a request.  Here it is:

PLEASE READ MY STORY ALOUD. EVEN IF THERE IS NO ONE TO HEAR IT BUT YOU!

We all agree with this.  All of our stories were written to be read aloud, which maximizes the fun.

Don't forget, if you don't want to read it aloud yourself, Deedy (that's Dorothea Jensen to you) has made audio versions that you can play.

Here are the Magic Links:
