Driving home for Christmas

Melanie and Sam Granville, we're the parents of Lola, Lucy Jamie and Jack Granville. Melanie and Sam were always working really far away, especially at Christmas. So Melanie and Sam regularly never made it for Christmas, which upset the four children a lot. So the children stopped wishing for their parents to come home for the holidays. Melanie and Sam were getting ready to set off on their journey, this is a week before christmas, The children were all upset inside but they never showed it. Lola was upset the most because her parents always missed important things that were going on. By the time her parents got back it was just a case of forget it. Lola was the oldest and had so many exams to do, with no help from her parents because her parents were not there.

For some reason Jamie thought that his parents were going to make it in time for Christmas because they promised. Melanie and Sam never promised they were going to be back in time because they never did get back in time. All the children accept Lola waved off their parents. Lola was upset because her parents were never there for her and the other children. Lola usually bought her own presents just so the others could still enjoy Christmas. Which was nice. Meanwhile Sam and Melanie were crying because they knew they were never there for the children and they felt really bad. Lola thought that her parents didn't care about them, she thought they only cared about their job. The other three kids didn't know what to think. All four of the kids went to bed upset. Lola flooding the penthouse, Lucy sniffing her way though many boxes of tissues. Jamie taking his anger out on pillows and having little sobs,and Jack thinking about all the things his family could have done if they were all together for once.

They had a family butler who looked after the children basically full time, his name was Gary tiles. Gary was a nice and caring man. A father figure to the children. They also had a family maid who was called Jenny shell. She obviously was like a mother, Jenny was the sweetest person you'd ever meet. So life wasn't to bad when the kids parents were away.

3 Days until Christmas...

Lola was buying presents, Jamie was in love with every moon sand isle in the shops. Lucy was in a Mac makeup shop trying on ever tester lipstick she could find. Jack was in bookstores reading books about happy families. Jenny was buying decorations and lights, Gary was buying cutlery and setting out the big dining table. Everybody was kind of excited for Christmas. Gary and Jenny wanted to make this Christmas special for the children because of their parents not being there every Christmas day.

Christmas eve.........

Quickly comes Christmas eve and everything is sorted for Christmas, it's not the Christmas you'd really want but it's the best everyone can all can do. Lucy goes to bed first as she is tired and wants to prepare herself for the sad bit where her parents don't turn up. Jamie goes up next cuddling his fluffy yellow puffer fish, that he can't get to sleep without. After that goes up Jack tears covering his We Are Family book. Lola sits in the corner reading a magazine her mum bought her, crying with a big red nose. "hey, you look like rudolph." says Jenny, Lola laughs. " I just desperately want my parents to be here to celebrate this family holiday." weeps Lola. " I know it's sad that they are missing Christmas every year, me and Gary have tried our hardest." says Jenny. " thank you." then Lola runs upstairs so she can do something. She goes into everyone's room and kisses them and says merry Christmas. Lola then goes into her parents bedroom and pretends her parents are there and she is saying merry Christmas. Then Lola wipes away her tears and sinks into bed.

Christmas Day......

Lola wakes up late, she hears footsteps pitter patter. She opens her door and sees its her brothers and sister. Ok let's go down. "MERRY CHRISTMAS." Scream Gary and Jenny."Sorry but you have one small present each." says Jenny sadly. Lola opens hers first and it's a locket saying Lola, but she sees the tag and it says two dollars. "Thank you I love it." next goes Lucy, Lucy gets some pink fluffy socks that were ten cents. After that Jamie opens his present, Jamie's present is a tiny pot of moon sand that wasn't even a nickel. Last went Jack, Jack got a bit size version of a book he wanted called winter wonders. All of the children huddled together and just started crying. Lola poked a star on the Christmas tree, suddenly the kids parents arrived with lots of presents. 

Jack got bigger books. Jamie got boxes and boxes of moon sand. Lucy got loads of fluffy socks and fluffy pyjamas. Also Lola got lots of jewellery make-up and got help with exams. "Wait Mom Dad how did you get back." Said Lucy. 

"Well we didn't want to miss another Christmas,and our boss said its about time we got home for the Holidays." said Mom. "Ohh and he is always going to let us home on Christmas eve!!!" Said dad excitedly.

Few Months after Christmas...

Things got better, Lola realised her Mom and Dad Loved her. Jamie knew his parents wouldn't break their promises.  

Lucy could finally go shopping and buy all the lipstick she wanted. 

Jack and his family had all the great times together that he'd wished of. Lola also got straight A's in everything and became a very very famous Scientist. Lucy took up Beauty and became a fashion Makeup model and also Miss America. Jamie got straight A's in design and became the best toy Maker in the whole of the States. Jack got amazing marks in literature and became a bestselling author writing about the ups and downs of Family life.
