Mr. Bump's Christmas Wish is a story from the 1980 Annual.
Plot[]
Mr. Bump is preparing his list of Christmas wishes to send to Father Christmas. Now, Mr. Bump is known for having little accidents that leave him bumped and bruised from head to toe. That very same day, which was also Christmas Eve, Mr. Bump dropped a teapot, tripped over a cat while on his walk, and backed into a sign for the bus stop! Tired of having these little accidents, Mr. Bump wrote to Father Christmas for asking for something that will stop him from bumping, spilling, and dropping things for one single day.
On Christmas morning, Mr. Bump's wish came true! He opened all his presents without dropping a single one, he walked up and down stairs without tripping on the steps, he even skated gracefully when trying out his new skates with Mr. Bounce and Mr. Sneeze! It was truly a Christmas miracle! But, all good things must come to an end. The next day, Mr. Bump was back to his old self. How did he realize this? He fell into a snowdrift when he heard Mr. Snow say hello to him! Oh dear!
