It was the 24th of December and I just could'nt wait for Christmas morning to come. It was 10.00pm and I always checked under the Christmas tree every 10 minutes but I suddenly fell asleep at 10.40pm.

It was finally Christmas day and I rushed down the stairs and went to the Christmas tree and there was tonnes of presents! I had nearly everything on my list which was a total of 17 items.

When we went out into the car I saw something rusling in the bushes, but I didn't worry too much. In the middle of the drive it started to rain a lot, we had to go home because it was soo bad.

We ended up having Christmas without our family on our own. But at 2.00 our whole family came to our house which was a relief. So we did have Christmas with our family!
