New Elf Watches Santa Collect Stars

What is Santa doing? The new elf asked the older ones, wonderingly.
He is collecting stars for Christmas Eve of course, they said knowingly.
What will that do? The new elf asked. His elders chuckled. You’ll see.
On Christmas eve the Elves brought out the container of stars – 333.
They released them into the night sky, so Santa could more easily see.
Understood new elf said. What can I do to help? Where should I be?
Get ready to help collect stars next year, his new friends told him lovingly.
