                                                  She woke up in the morning light,

                                         suddenly, realizing Christmas was in sight.


                                                  She peered through the window,

                                                              hoping to see snow,

                                                            but all that was seen,

                                                             was a field of green.


                                     She suddenly realized she's not in the US,

                                     She couldn't believe she was so clueless.


                                             She quickly got up from her bed,

                                           as she longed for this day to come,

                                                 not sleeping with her brother,

                                                   'cause it was too congested.


                                                    She grabbed her computer,

                                                 without brushing or bathing,

                                                  turning on 'Santa's Village',

                                          the holiday's most favorite gaming.


                                             Suddenly, she looked up at the 

                                                            Christmas tree,

                        realizing that she forget all about the presents,

                                     desperately tearing up the wrappers,

                                    knowing exactly 'WHO' had sent them.
