As Jackson stepped into the bustling Christmas carnival, his eyes widened in awe. Glittering fairy lights hung everywhere, illuminating the frosty night. Carnival stalls filled with gingerbread cookies and cotton candy lined the streets, while the merry sound of carols filled the air. A gigantic, twinkling Christmas tree stood proudly in the center, but something was missing - the star. Jackson remembered finding a shiny ornament in his yard earlier. Could it be the missing star? With a burst of determination, Jackson ventured into the carnival. He dodged past laughing children and colorful rides, clutching the ornament tightly. At last, he reached the tree and looked up. Santa, overseeing the festivities from his grotto, noticed Jackson. 'What do you have there, young man?' Santa asked. Hesitantly, Jackson showed him the ornament. Santa's eyes twinkled as he recognized it as the missing star. With a chuckle, Santa whisked Jackson and the star up to the top of the tree. As Jackson placed the star, the crowd cheered. He'd saved the carnival's Christmas!
