CHRISTMAS IS SOON

WOW! THAT'S HUGE! Said Fay and the others in amazement seeing the Christmas tree in the store. "Yes, it is but don't go too close to it alright.' 'But why?' asked one of the children to Mrs. Elsher, Fay's mother. 'Well, it may lose balance and end up on you.' 'Oh ok then' said the children moving a few steps behind. 'Who's is this though' asked Eveleigh, Fay's 9 year old sister. 'Mine' said a head popping out from behind the tree. 'Oh nice to see you Mrs. Lock heart'. Said Fay. 'You too Fay dear.' Said Mrs. Lock heart smiling.

Everyone enjoyed talking about how excited they were about the holidays coming up. After about an hour Fay and her family returned home.

'Mom'. Said Fay to her mother. 'Yes dear?' she replied. 'Can we have Eve over for the holidays as she her school closed too?' she asked. 'Well I have to make sure with her parents first'. Her mom replied unsure.

'Hey Fay'. Said Eveleigh coming in the room with a big cardboard box. 'Look what I've found. 'Keep it there; I'll be back in a sec'. Replied Fay going out of the room. After about 2 minutes Fay entered the room and said, 'So, what was it that you wanted to show me?' Eveleigh got up and picked up the box. 'So, I found this box in the basement and I wanted to check it out with you.

'Better not be trying to do anything funny.' Said Fay squinting her eyes at her sister. 'You do know that Santa only gives gifts to good children right. 'Yeah, I know.' Eveleigh replied.

They went through the box. They found a few old family albums which had some of Fay's younger pictures. She was quite embarrassed so she immediately closed them with a thud. Then the things they found were quite random. Boots, a dirty old cap, a few nails, some coins, rags, etc.

At dinner their father asked, 'so, dears what are your plans for the holidays coming up?' 'Well mom rang up Eve's parents to ask if she can stay with us for the rest of the hols and turns out she can'. 'Yeah, and Frank will be coming too!' Said Eveleigh, excitedly.
