A Christmas story for Carter

Here is how a story called "Carter and the Urgent Star" might begin:

The bakery hummed with the joyful chaos of Christmas Eve. The air was thick with cinnamon and gingerbread, and Carter, though small, was a master at frosting gingerbread men. He was just putting the finishing touches on a smiling Santa cookie when he noticed it: a small, rather ordinary-looking brown envelope tucked beneath a tray of cooling sugar plums. It looked out of place amongst the sparkly decorations and sugary treats. He picked it up. There was no address, just a single, hastily scribbled word on the front, barely legible in the dim bakery light: 'Urgent.' And inside, not a letter, but a single, crumpled star.

What happens next? Carter soon realizes this mysterious star holds a secret that is crucial to the magic of Christmas Eve.
