I'm sorry, but you're going to have to sit on the step for a while.

1:00:061:00:11

Hi. I'm Matthew.

1:00:111:00:14

Buttons has been silly and needs to spend some time on the naughty step.

1:00:141:00:20

I caught him unravelling all this wool, which has made a mess.

1:00:201:00:24

All right, Buttons. I'll keep you company while I tell everyone about

1:00:261:00:31

Sam and his time on the naughty step.

1:00:311:00:33

This story is by Mark Sperring and Tom McLaughlin,

1:00:351:00:40

and it's called Father Christmas On The Naughty Step.

1:00:401:00:43

Today was Christmas Eve,

1:00:441:00:47

and Sam could have been doing any number of lovely things.

1:00:471:00:51

He could have been making something yummy with his big sister, Nelly.

1:00:511:00:56

Or helping Rover with a last minute letter to Santa.

1:00:561:01:00

Or just daydreaming with Dad about all the wonderful Christmassy

1:01:001:01:04

things to come.

1:01:041:01:06

But Sam wasn't doing any of those lovely things.

1:01:081:01:12

Sam was sitting by himself on the naughty step.

1:01:121:01:18

Until the naughty step gave a familiar creak.

1:01:191:01:23

And, shiver me timbers,

1:01:241:01:26

down sat someone who'd sat there a zillion times before.

1:01:261:01:31

"Have you been naughty again?" sighed Sam.

1:01:331:01:38

Captain Buckleboots gave a woeful nod.

1:01:381:01:41

"Oh, Sam," he said, "I told the most terrible lie."

1:01:411:01:45

Then he held up a letter for Sam to see.

1:01:461:01:50

"Oh, dear," said Sam.

1:02:051:02:08

"I can't imagine anything naughtier."

1:02:081:02:12

But just then, high above their heads,

1:02:121:02:16

came the jingle-jangle of bells and a flurry of snow.

1:02:161:02:19

And, shiver me tinsels, down sat Father Christmas!

1:02:211:02:26

"Santa!" gasped Sam. "It's Christmas Eve!

1:02:281:02:31

"Shouldn't you be getting ready to deliver lots of lovely presents?"

1:02:311:02:36

Father Christmas gave a shameful sigh

1:02:361:02:39

and shuffled nervously on the step.

1:02:391:02:41

"Yes," he said, "But I've been bad when I should have been good."

1:02:431:02:50

Then they saw it. Dear, oh, dear.

1:02:501:02:55

Santa's name right at the top of the naughty list.

1:02:561:03:02

"It all began this morning," explained Santa,

1:03:051:03:09

"I took something that clearly did not belong to me.

1:03:091:03:13

"And even though I knew I shouldn't,

1:03:141:03:17

"well, I did.

1:03:171:03:21

Stop! cried that elves as I hurtled out of the workshop. Stop!

1:03:211:03:26

"neighed the reindeer as I sped downhill.

1:03:261:03:29

"But blistering baubles, I couldn't stop!

1:03:291:03:32

"Crash!

1:03:321:03:34

"Bang! Wallop!

1:03:341:03:35

"And suddenly, everything was everywhere.

1:03:361:03:40

"To make matters worse, I started to laugh.

1:03:421:03:45

"But ho-ho-hum, not everyone found it quite so funny.

1:03:481:03:53

"Now," sighed Santa, "All I really want for Christmas

1:03:551:04:00

"is to be forgiven, but I don't know how."

1:04:001:04:03

For a moment, a sorrowful hush fell over the naughty step.

1:04:051:04:10

Then Sam had a wonderful idea.

1:04:121:04:15

"If you really want to be forgiven,"

1:04:171:04:19

said Sam, "You'll have to show you're really sorry.

1:04:191:04:24

"First, you'll need to pick up all the presents for the reindeer.

1:04:241:04:28

"Then you'll have two help the elves reload the sleigh,

1:04:281:04:32

"and the last but not least,

1:04:321:04:34

"you must promise never to do it again."

1:04:341:04:40

"Shivering snowflakes!" said Father Christmas.

1:04:401:04:44

"That's exactly what I'll do."

1:04:441:04:47

Just then, Sam's mum called up from the kitchen.

1:04:471:04:51

"You can get off the naughty step now."

1:04:511:04:54

And off they all went to say a heartfelt

1:04:561:05:00

and very seasonal sorry.

1:05:001:05:02

"Sorry, me hearties," said Captain Buckleboots.

1:05:041:05:08

"Sorry," said Sam, oh-so-sweetly.

1:05:101:05:13

And the next morning, not only did Sam find lots of presents

1:05:171:05:21

under the tree, but also, a most surprising apology.

1:05:211:05:27

"To Sam, I'm sorry I took your

1:05:301:05:32

"new train before you'd even had a chance to play with it.

1:05:321:05:36

"Next time, I promise to ask first.

1:05:361:05:39

"Have a Merry Christmas and be good.

1:05:391:05:42

"Love, Santa."

1:05:421:05:44

So, despite Christmas getting off to a bit of a bad start,

1:05:461:05:50

in the end a very happy Christmas was had by all.

1:05:501:05:56

That story was called Father Christmas On The Naughty Step.

1:05:571:06:02

Buttons enjoyed that story

1:06:021:06:04

and is sorry about making a mess with the wool.

1:06:041:06:07

After all, he was only playing.

1:06:071:06:09

But playtime is over today.

1:06:111:06:13

And it's time for Buttons and for you to go to bed.

1:06:131:06:18

I'll see you again soon for another bedtime story. Good night.
