Whimsical Jolly Gnomes Musical Express Collection

Two gnomes boarded the Christmas train, arms full of lopsided gift towers and pockets jingling with candy canes. As the engine chugged, they burst into carols—loud, off-key, and occasionally rewritten with cookie recipes. One gnome waved his hand like a maestro’s baton, the other kept slipping on wrapping paper, yet never missed a note, and soon the whole train sounded like a tipsy choir of elves on holiday cocoa. Even the conductor tapped his foot in surrender.
