Emma Dally woke up at 6:00 a.m the 23rd of November, she had lots of things to do. She knew it had been a bad idea to invite her nephews to her new department before unpacking all her things. After all, she didn't have much time. She would have loved to stay in her new apartment for Christmas, but then the thought of celebrating it without her whole family made her feel sad and her heart ached. She couldn't, neither wanted to. She had to be at the airport at 3:00 p.m to fly to London and luckily arrive the 25th. So, while the birds started to sing, she started to work.

"Why isn't Will here with me? He would have made the work faster and funnier."
"My dear, what are you doing there?"
"Ehm, hi Mrs. Killegan!"
"Emma, what are you doing with all those boxes?"
"I'm trying to, WOH WOH."
"Let me help you with those!"
"Oh my, thank you so much!! Those are my things.. I didn't have time to unpack!"
"But there is a lot of time, or isn't it?"
"There isn't, the thing is that I'm going home for Christmas!"
"I thought you were staying! Each year we organize a dinner for Christmas, all the neighbours come."
"Ohh! If I would have known! Maybe there will be a next time, right?"
"Of course sweetheart, don't doubt about it!"
"Thank you again, Mrs. Kille- ACHOOO!"
"Bless you."
"Thanks!!"
"You better take care of that, you won't want one to have a nose as red as Rudolph for Christmas!"

"Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose and if you ever saw it you would even say it glows."
-Song 'Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer"
