A Christmas Fairy Story (For young children)

This video was made just before Christmas 2015 for my girlfriends young nephew and niece. They seemed to like it and wanted to come to my house to see the fairy village, unfortunately they all live in the Philippines while I live in the UK so I was unable to be with them at Christmas time. As they liked it I decided to put it on YouTube so that other young children might enjoy it. As Peter Pan said, “If you believe in fairies, clap your hands”.

Dialogue: 
Hello, let me tell you about the time I found fairies living in my house.
I woke up very very early one morning, just before Christmas. It was so early it was still dark outside. I don't know if it was my imagination but I had a feeling that there was something different about the house. I got out of bed and looked here, there and everywhere, but it all looked the same to me. 
I went outside thinking that something had changed in the street where I live. 
I looked up the street and I looked down the street but everything was the same as it always is. 
Then, when I looked back at the house, WOW, it suddenly seemed as though it was filled with fairy lights.
I came back into the house and I sat and I thought and I thought some more and then I had a bowl of porridge for breakfast and I continued to wonder what was happening. I decided that the only way my house could be filled with fairy lights, was if fairies were living in my house.
I looked all around and couldn't find any fairies.
I have a very small Christmas tree growing in a big pot. Usually it is out in the garden but at Christmas time I bring it in the house. 
I decided I would move the tree so I could look behind it and to my amazement there was a tiny fairy door with a golden fairy standing outside.
Now as you know if a human sees a fairy the fairy becomes a statue and if you pick it up it will stay a statue for ever more. 
Well I didn't want to hurt the fairy, I wanted her to go home to be with her family so I looked away and when I looked back the fairy was gone. Where the fairy had been was a tiny piece of yellow paper.
I picked up the paper and there was writing on it, but it was far too small for me to read, so, I got a big magnifying glass to read the note - and it said
As a reward for letting me go 
Our fairy village we will show
Come back at midnight on Christmas Eve
A sight you will see that's hard to believe.
So at exactly midnight on Christmas Eve I knocked on the fairy door.
Suddenly, with the help of fairy magic, I was looking at this tiny village. Of course, because I was there, all the fairies stopped moving, that's the fairy law you know. But the golden fairy showed me round her village. 
First we went to see the church and the house next door 
Then down the hill to the toy shop and next to that is another toy store, toys are very important to fairies as you know.
Then to the Christmas gifts shop and another shop next door selling Christmas gifts because Christmas is important to fairies as well 
Then to the bakers where they sell lovely bread and biscuits and scrumptious cakes, but don't eat too many because they make you fat.
Then we saw some of the fairy houses 
Then a fairy hotel with a sleigh ride carousel with a church next door and next to them were two more houses.
The fairy I had been calling the golden fairy was in fact the fairy queen and she told me that I can see the fairy lights in my house until the 12th day of Christmas. Do you know when the 12th day of Christmas is?
Oh oh it's time to go, its started to snow again.
