A Christmas story for Iris

Here is how a story called "Iris and the Desert Jingle" might begin:

In the small desert town, Christmas Eve was surprisingly mild, and the paper lanterns strung between the adobe houses glowed like captured fireflies. Iris, helping her family set out luminarias, heard a faint, persistent rustling from the desert brush nearby. It wasn't the usual night creatures; this sound was accompanied by a soft, clinking jingle, like tiny bells being shaken. She saw a flicker of movement, too quick for a rabbit, too odd for a coyote, disappearing behind a saguaro cactus.

What happens next? Iris, peeking behind the cactus, discovered a tiny, shimmering, exquisitely crafted boot, no larger than her thumb, with a tiny bell on its heel.
