A Christmas story for Oliver

Here is how a story called "Oliver and the Whistling Compass" might begin:

At the very end of the lane, Oliver’s quiet house was a peaceful haven on Christmas Eve, the only sound the soft patter of snow against the windowpanes. He was sketching a soaring eagle in his notebook when a peculiar, high-pitched whistling began just outside his front door. It wasn't the wind. It was a precise, almost musical whistle, like a tiny bird trying to send a message. Oliver opened the heavy door, peering into the swirling white. There, lying on the fresh snow, was a single, sparkling, iridescent compass, its needle spinning wildly, not pointing North, but rather, directly back towards the forest at the edge of the lane.

What happens next? Oliver finds a magical, erratically spinning compass at his door, and its peculiar behavior points him toward an unexpected Christmas Eve journey.
