Uncles and aunts,
Grandfather and grandmother,
As well as the parents,
Siblings and friends,
Gather for a feast.
Heaps of turkey,
mountains of ham,
Rivers of cranberry punch,
Cases of Diet Coke,
And so much more.
Small flames on the table,
Little candles everywhere,
A finger in the flames,
Just a simple dare,
To have some fun.
A little mistake,
A tiny misunderstanding,
A napkin...

Daniel’s father stepped forward, walking with reverence towards the stable. Daniel could see a man arise within. He was young. 'Not much older than Amos…' he realized. ...
With gentle snuffles, yawns and groans, the house begins to awake; awaken from the deepest sleep, of spell cast by tiny elves to keep the impatient eyes tightly shut- lest the magic be broken.
Whilst no child wandered the halls and the stairs a jolly man slipped inside, dressed in red from head to toe, aside from the cotton wool beard and hair that sprouted from atop his head and from his face; ...
I didn't believe my mother when she said that Santa Claus wasn't real. I stayed up all night waiting for Santa but he never came. Instead, a child who claimed they were thousands of years old told me a story. I learned that Santa Claus was anything but good. I followed the fairies into their magical kingdom. Shortly after, I became known as the little girl who killed Santa Claus....
My son has got addicted to Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Well he doesn’t know it’s a Dickens. He thinks it’s a cartoon with a high pitched mouse and a Scottish duck. He loves the Scrooge character, especially when he bosses the other characters around. His mum and I try to point out the unkindness of Scrooge and that the story is really about him seeing the error of his miserly ways. Nursery told us...
She sat up in her bright blue bedroom and rubbed her eyes.
It took her about a minute to remember that it was Christmas and then she was jumping up and sliding on socks .
She did not think about how early it was and rushed to her parents room.
"Mommy! Daddy!" She shouted jumping on there bed.
And just like that Christmas had begun....
