Christmas was fast approaching and many of the residents of the marsh were busy collecting any food they could still find. Like every years, they intended to have a big feast with all their friends and families.
Henry Ermine was out and about looking for things to decorate the marsh with. Christmas was less than ten days away and Henry was part of the decorating crew. With the snow already over a foot deep, it made it very hard to find interesting objects to use for decorating.

It was very fortunate for Henry that he had ran into Alan. Alan had just passed a tree still full of red berries and the berries were easy to get at. After Henry had got the full directions to the tree, he thanked Alan very much and went on his way.
No sooner did Henry begin his journey to the upper marsh where the tree was, he was knocked over by a big snow ball. Luckily he wasn't hurt but he was quite startled. He could hear the laughter of a few small and young animals but he wasn't certain who it was.
Being as smart as an ermine could be, Henry popped his head out of the snow pile he was laying in. As he suspected, he recognized the culprits right off the bat. He knew that dealing with those tykes meant getting even but Henry was out for full revenge.
